Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Linalool is classified as a skin irritant substance according to CLP and GHS criteria.
No study was conducted on the marjoram oil iself.
The test item is a natural complex substance (NCS). It is a mixture of several constituents, and linalool represents 14% of this UVCB substance.
Literature above provided data for this major compound.
Executive summary:

The NCS is composed of several identified constituents, so it can be considered as a mixture according to the definition of the CLP Regulation. The decision logic for classification of mixtures from the ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria (2015) was used to determine the skin irritation / corrosion potential of the registered substance.

The registered substance has not been tested itself in appropriate in vitro or in vivo tests.

But one of its constituents is classified as skin irritant (Linalool at 14%) and none other constituents is assessed skin corrosive.

The single constituent is present above the CLP generic concentration limit of 10% that triggers classification of the mixture. Therefore, the registered substance is classified as a skin irritant substance without further testing according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
