Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions the substance is considered to be irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

In three primary dermal irritation studies performed according to OECD guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, three or four albino rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of undiluted alpha-Terpineol under a semi-occlusive patch for 4 hours to intact skin of the flank. Animals were then observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after exposure. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals of the first test were 1.67, 2 and 2.33 for erythema score and 2, 2.33 and 3 for edema score. For the second test the mean individual scores were 2, 2.67, 2 and 2 for erythema score and 3, 3, 2.67 and 1.67 for edema score. For the third test the mean individual scores were 2, 2, 1.67 and 2 for erythema score and 2.67, 2, 0.67 and 3 for edema score. Under the test conditions the substance is considered to be irritating to the skin because the average oedema score exceeded 2 (DSD C&L) or 2.5 (CLP) and the effects were not fully reversible within the observation period of 7 days.
