Colworth guinea pig intradermal injection test: Guinea pigs were treated to induce sensitization by intradermal injections and were challenged approximately 2 weeks later by intradermal injection and topical application.

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, Pine Needle Siberica induced weak sensitisation in guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

In a skin sensitisation test, ten guinea pigs (males and females) were treated with test item, Pine Needle Siberica by intradermal injections (1.875 %) and were challenged approximately 2 weeks later by intradermal injection (0.75 %) and topical application (60 %). As there was no evidence of sensitization at first challenge the induction and challenge sequences were repeated. Confirmatory further challenges were also done (40 and 60 % topical application). The test concentrations for the main study were determined from a preliminary study at the concentrations ranging from 0.05 % to 1 % (intradermal injection) and 15 to 100 % (topical application).    

 

During challenge phase, 1/10 positive reactions at the 3rd challenge, 3/10 positive reactions at the 6th challenge, 2/10 positive reactions at the 7th challenge were observed. No reactions were observed in control group.

 

Under the test conditions, Pine Needle Siberica induced weak sensitisation in guinea pigs.

Remarks on result:
other: Skin sensitiser category 1
Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Executive summary:

The NCS is composed of several identified constituents and in that, it can be considered as a mixture according to the definition of the CLP Regulation. The decision logic for classification of mixtures from the ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria (2017) was used to determine the skin sensitising potential of the registered substance.

The registered substance has not been tested itself in appropriate in vitro or in vivo tests but some of its constituents are classified as skin sensitisers Cat.1 (pinene alpha, pinene beta, limonene, delta 3 carene and terpinolene)

and are all potentially present above the CLP generic concentration limit of 1% that triggers classification of the mixture. Therefore, the registered substance is classified as a skin sensitiser Cat. 1 without further testing according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

The decision logic for classification of mixtures from the ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria (2017) was used to determine the skin sensitising potential of Pine needle oil.

Some ingredients of Pine needle oil have been classified as skin sensitizers Cat.1 (pinene alpha and beta, limonene, delta 3 carene, Terpinolene) and are all present above the generic concentration limit of 1%. Therefore Pine needle oil shall be classified as a skin sensitizer without further testing according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 .

This conclusion is supported by a guinea pig maximisation test (Storch, 1975) in which positive reactions were observed after a minimum of 3 challenges. 3/10 animals were positive for skin sensitisation at the 6th challenge.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Harmonized classification:

Pine needle oil has no harmonized classification according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

Self-classification:

Based on the typical composition provided by the Lead Registrant, Pine needle oil is classified as skin sensitizer:

- Skin Sens. 1, H317 (May cause an allergic skin reaction) according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

No information was available regarding respiratory sensitisation.
