Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- d-Limonene is not classified as irritating to the eye according to Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
- Executive summary:
In an eye irritation study conducted according to the OECD Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, three male rabbits of the New Zealand White strain were exposed to 0.1 mL of undiluted d-limonene in one of the eyes while the other eye corresponded to the control. The eyes were examined for irritation scores at 1 hour and 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days after dosing.
Instillation of d-limonene resulted in slight to moderate redness of conjunctivae associated with moderate chemosis in all treated animals after 1 hour of instillation. The irritation completely resolved within 7 days. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure for the 3 animals were 0, 0, 0 for cornea score; 0, 0, 0 for iris score; 0.3, 1, 1.3 for conjunctivae score and 1, 0.3, 1 for chemosis score.
Therefore, d-limonene is not classified as irritating to the eyes according to Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
