Additional information
Skin irritation
A skin irritation test for this substance is waived as the constituents d-limonene (CAS 5989-27-5), linalyl acetate (CAS 115-95-7), linalool (CAS 78-70-6), beta-pinene (CAS 127-91-3) and gamma-terpinene (CAS 99-85-4), are classified as H315 (Skin Irrit. 2). Based on the fact that these classified constituents represent 92% of the composition of Bergamot oil, this substance is considered to be classified as H315 (Skin Irrit. 2) as well and therefore further testing is deemed unnecessary.
Eye irritation
An eye irritation test for this substance is waived as the major constituents linalyl acetate (CAS 115-95-7) and linalool (CAS 78-70-6), present at typical concentrations of 27% and 12% respectively, are classified as H319 (Eye Irrit. 2). Based on the fact that these classified constituents represent at least 39% of the composition of Bergamot oil, this substance is considered to be classified as H319 (Eye Irrit. 2) as well and therefore further testing is deemed unnecessary.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the skin irritating properties of its constituents, Bergamot oil should be classified for Skin Irritation (Skin. Irrit. 2 / H315) in accordance with the criteria as outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP/EU-GHS).
Based on the eye irritating properties of the major constituents, Bergamot oil should be classified for Eye Irritation (Eye Irrit. 2 / H319) in accordance with the criteria as outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP/EU-GHS).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
