Description of key information
Based on based on animal test data read-across from Oct-1 -ene and HOPA category members, Oct-2 -ene is not anticipated to be irritating to skin or eye irritating.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin irritation / corrosion
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- skin irritation: in vivo
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Justification for type of information:
- Read-across between the target substance Oct-2-ene (EC 203-894-2 / CAS 111-67-1) and source substances Octene (EC 246-920-8 / CAS 25377-83-7) and Oct-1-ene (EC 203-893-7 / CAS 111-66-0 / alpha-C8) is based upon the similarity of the chemical structures and their respective physico-chemical properties. The ECHA Read-Across Assessment Framework (RAAF) states that substances with qualitatively similar properties can form the basis of read-across in circumstances where the source and target substances share such similar characteristics.
Octene, Oct-1-ene and Oct-2-ene are linear olefins, each with a carbon chain length of C8. Structurally, the difference between source and target substances is the position of the carbon-carbon double bond. For Oct-1-ene the double bond is at the terminal C1 position (hence, an alpha-olefin), whereas for Oct-2-ene the double bond is at the non-terminal C2 position (hence, an internal olefin). A comparison of the target and source substance properties shows that all substances would be expected to exhibit similar environmental fate, ecotoxicological and mammalian toxicological behaviours. The justification for read-across from source substances Octene and Oct-1-ene to target substance Oct-2-ene is detailed in section 13 (Document name: “Oct-2-ene Read Across Document HOPA”).
Further, Oct-2-ene and Oct-1-ene both fit within the boundaries of the chemical category of higher olefins. Studies conducted by the HOPA consortium on a large range of higher olefin category members (including Oct-1-ene) demonstrated sufficiently similar physico-chemical, environmental fate and toxicological properties to substantiate the basis for read-across. Therefore Oct-2-ene is expected to behave similarly. Justification for inclusion of Oct-2-ene within the boundaries of the higher olefins category, and the relevance of each category member as an analogue substance to Oct-2-ene, is provided in Section 13 (Document name: “HOPA Higher Olefins CJD with Category Matrix Report [rev 1 Sept 2016]”). - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

- Score:

- Reversibility:
- not specified
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not irritating according to EU CLP classification
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Executive summary:
In a primary dermal irritation study, 5 male and 1 female New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 millilitre of Gulftene 8 for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 14 days and irritation was scored by the Draize method.
The test material application produced a primary irritation index of 3.42 calculated according to US EPA FIFRA guidelines, and mean scores of 1.9 for erythema/eschar formation and 1.1 for edema according to EU labelling restrictions. Compound-induced corrosion was not reported.
This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it was carried out according to Guidelines (EPA 798.4470, OECD 404, 92/69/EEC B.4 and MAFF 59 NohSan No. 4200) and was GLP compliant.
Read-across to Oct-2 -ene is claimed as valid basd on the justifications provided for both analogue and category approaches.

- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study, 0.1 millilitre of 1 -octene, undiluted, was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eyes of six male and three female New Zealand White rabbits. Three males had their eyes washed 30 seconds post-exposure. Animals were then observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.
Mild irritation was noted 1 hour post-exposure in both washed and unwashed eyes. Irritation persisted to day 1 of the observation period, but was not noted on day 2 post-exposure. In this study, 1 -octene is not classified as an eye irritant based on EU classification.
This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it was conducted according to or closely following OECD 405 guidelines and was GLP compliant.
Read-across to Oct-2-ene is claimed as valid basd on the justifications provided for both analogue and category approaches.

Additional information
Thirty five guideline or near-guideline rabbit skin irritation studies have been conducted on 16 category members, ranging from hex-1-ene to alkenes, C20-24. In general, the studies show that these higher olefins are not skin irritants. There are a few studies that are exceptions, and this may be due to differences in laboratory methods i.e. use of occluded or semi-occluded conditions; duration of exposure (4 or 24 hours).
Twenty-two eye rabbit irritation studies have been conducted on 16 category members, ranging from hex-1-ene to alkenes, C20-24. It can be concluded from all of these studies that higher olefins are not irritating to the rabbit eye.
Based on a weight of evidence analysis of these findings, no classification for skin or eye irritation potential is necessary according to the CLP regulation.
