Version / remarks:
A human maximization study was carried out with 5% (3450 µg/cm2) fenchyl acetate in petrolatum on 25 (10 male:15 female) healthy volunteers. The author of the study report is Dr. Klingman - coauthor of the maximization test adopted by OECD.

Details on study design:
Application was under occlusion to the same site on the forearms of all subjects for five alternate-day 48-hour periods. Patch sites were pretreated for 24 h with 5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) under occlusion. Following a 10 day rest period, challenge patches were applied under occlusion to fresh sites for 48 h. Challenge applications were preceded by 1-hour applications of 10% aqueous SLS under occlusion. Challenge sites were read on removal of the patch and 24 h thereafter.

Executive summary:

A human maximization (Kligman, 1966) study was carried out with 5% (3450 µg/cm2) fenchyl acetate in petrolatum on 25 (10 male:15 female) healthy volunteers. Application was under occlusion to the same site on the forearms of all subjects for five alternate-day 48-hour periods. Patch sites were pretreated for 24 h with 5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) under occlusion. Following a 10 day rest period, challenge patches were applied under occlusion to fresh sites for 48 h. Challenge applications were preceded by 1-hour applications of 10% aqueous SLS under occlusion. Challenge sites were read on removal of the patch and 24 h thereafter. No sensitization reactions (0/25) were observed.

Justification for classification or non-classification

One of the impurities of this multiconstituent substance, dipentene, is included in Table 3 of Annex VI of CLP Regulation (harmonised classification and labelling) and it is classified as:

Skin Sensitizer Category 1, H317.

Taking into account that the concentration of this impurity is higher than 1%, the substance is classified as:

Skin Sensitizer Category 1, H317.
