Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, (-)-beta pinene is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation (EC) N° 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 (-)-beta pinene 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, 7 and 8 days after dosing.

 

Instillation of the test item resulted in moderate redness of the conjunctivae associated with moderate to severe chemosis in all treated animals after 1 hour of instillation. The irritation completely resolved within 8 days. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were 0, 0, 0 for cornea score; 0, 0, 0 for iris score; 1, 1, 2 for conjunctivae score and 1.3, 1, 1 for chemosis score.

 

Under the test conditions, (-)-beta pinene is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation (EC) N° 1272 /2008.
