Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Remarks:
based on CLP criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, mean erythema and edema scores in the animals in each test were not above 2.3 for the timepoints concerned for classification. However, some effects did not disappear within the 7 days observation period. Therefore the substance is considered to be irritating to skin and should be classified as such based on the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

Single 4-hour-exposure of  Linalool (100% concentration) under semi-occlusive conditions in three independent experiments caused slight irritation on rabbit skin. A mean erythema score (24-72h) of at least 2 for at least 24 hours was observed in rabbits one of the three tests. Mean erythema values (24-72h) for each of the animals showed a maximum of 2 in all three tests. Erythema was still visible after 7 days. In addition desquamation was noted. Mean oedema scores were (24-72h) <1.4. Mean oedema values (24 -72h) for each of the animals showed a maximum of 1.7 in all three tests. Marked and slight desquamation from skin surface appeared at day 1, 2, 3, and 7 days. The skin responses (erythema and/or oedema) did not disappear in all animals after 7 days. Based on these data linalool is considered to be irritating to the rabbit skin. The substance needs to be classified as skin irritant according to the criteria outlined in Annex I of Regulation (EC)1272/2008.
