Description of key information
Acute oral and dermal toxicity studies (limit test) with test substance terpineol multiconstituent were conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats
following OECD guidelines 401 and 402. Oral
and dermal LD50 of the test substance were higher than 2000 mg/kg bw for
males and females.
Acute inhalation toxicity study with test substance terpineol
multiconstituent was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats following OECD
guideline 403. No mortality occurred: LC50 was considered to be higher
than 4.76 mg/L.

- Executive summary:
Acute oral toxicity study (limit test) with test substance Terpineol multiconstituent was conducted in 10 Sprague-Dawley OFA rats (5 males and 5 females) following OECD guideline 401. The test substance was administered undiluted through oral gavage at the single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for clinical signs at least once a day for 14 days. Body weights were taken just before dosing and at days 4, 8 and 15.
Piloerection and a decrease in motor activity and in muscular tonus were observed in all animals for the first 6 h after dosing. All effects were reversed at day 3 except for one female, found dead at day 2. In this female, congestions in the lungs, liver, spleen and kidneys were observed. Stomach and intestines were bloated by gas. In the other animals, no particular finding was identified at necropsy. Bodyweight increase throughout the study was normal.
The oral LD50 of the test substance is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw for males and females. Therefore, according to CLP regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the test substance should not be classified.

The test substance was administered undiluted through oral gavage at the single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for 14 days. Body weights were taken the day before dosing, just before dosing and at days 3, 7 and 14.
Loss of activity was observed just after treatment. 2 h after ingestion, the animals had difficulties in moving, with absence of response to stimuli (for 4 animals), and they all had difficulties in breathing. General state was improved from day 2 except for one animal found dead at day 1. This animal had congestion in lungs, heart, liver, spleen and kidneys. Liquid was found in all its digestive system. For the other animals, body weight increase was the same as in the control group. White deposit in both sides of the spleen was found in one animal of the treated group at necropsy, at the end of the observation period.
The oral LD50 of the test substance is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw. therefore, according to CLP regulation (EC) 1272/2008, the test substance should not be classified.

It was therefore concluded that acute inhalation median lethal concentration 4 h LC50 of Terpineol multiconstituent was greater than 4.76 mg/L. - Executive summary:
In an acute inhalation toxicity study performed according to the OECD guideline 403, groups of rats (Sprague-Dawley, 5/sex) were exposed by nose-only inhalation to Terpineol multiconstituent for 4 hours at a mean concentration of 4.76 mg/L. The mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of the Terpineol multiconstituent aerosol was 2.78 µm and approximately 66.3% of the particulates were considered as inhalable (< 4 µm aerodynamic diameter).
Animals were then observed for 14 days.
Clinical signs as exagerated breathing were evident for all test rats from 30 minutes during the exposure and immediately post exposure, persisting for most animals to day 4. Gasping and noisy breathing were noted for a proportion af animals post-exposure, the latter sign persisting in one male to Day 4 of the observation.
One male animal had reduced body weight gain during Week 1 but recovered to show normal development during Week 2.Variations in body weight gain were seen in females but were considered not to be significant.
No mortality occurred: LC50 is higher than 4.76 mg/L.

Acute dermal toxicity study of Terpineol multiconstituent as a limit test was conducted according to OECD guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP. To groups of 5 Sprague-Dawley rats/sex were used: one control group exposed to distilled water and one test group. The test substance was applied to the skin by topical application for 24 h, under semi-occlusive conditions, at 2000 mg/kg bw, with a volume of 2.13 mL/kg bw. After exposure, exposure area was washed with distilled water.
Animals were observed every day for systemic clinical signs and mortalities for 14 days. The animals were weighed on D0, D2, D7 and D14. Necropsies were done on D14 for macroscopic observations. No toxic effects were observed.
Based upon these experimental conditions, the LD50 of Terpineol multiconstituent is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw by dermal route in the rat,
and Terpineol multiconstituent should not be classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity study (limit test) with test substance terpineol multiconstituent was conducted in rats according to OECD guideline 401. One female was found dead at day 2. In this female, congestions in the lungs, liver, spleen and kidneys were observed. Stomach and intestines were bloated by gas. In the other animals, no particular finding was identified at necropsy. Oral LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw for males and females.
Acute dermal toxicity study of terpineol multiconstituent as a limit test was conducted in rats according to OECD guideline 402. The test substance was applied to the skin by topical application for 24 h, under semi-occlusive conditions, at 2000 mg/kg bw, with a volume of 2.13 mL/kg bw. No systemic toxic effects were observed. Dermal LD50 > 2000 mg/kg for males and females.
Acute inhalation toxicity study with terpineol multiconstituent was conducted according to OECD guideline 403 in rats exposed by nose-only inhalation for 4 hours at a mean concentration of 4.76 mg/L. No mortality occurred. LC50 > 4.76 mg/L.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Under the test conditions used in the above studies, and according to CLP regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the test substance should not be classified for oral, dermal and inhalation acute toxicity.
