- Executive summary:
This in vitro study was performed to assess the irritation potential of 620103 Menthone / Iso Menthone Racemic by means of the Human Skin Model Test according to OECD TG 439. Three tissues of the human skin model EpiSkin™ were treated with the test item, the negative or the positive control for 15 minutes. 10 μL of the liquid test item were applied to each tissue, spread to match the tissue size. 10 μL of either the negative control (deionised water) or the positive control (5% Sodium lauryl sulfate) were applied to each tissue. After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values were well within the required acceptability criterion of mean OD 0.6 till ≤ 1.5 for the 15 minutes treatment interval thus showing the quality of the tissues. Treatment with the positive control induced a sufficient decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control for the 15 minutes treatment interval thus ensuring the validity of the test system. Compared to the value of the negative control, after exposure of the test item 620103 Menthone / Iso Menthone Racemic the mean relative absorbance value decreased to 10.4%. This value is below the threshold for irritancy of ≤ 50%. Therefore, the test item is considered to possess an irritant potential. In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item 620103 Menthone / Iso Menthone Racemic is irritant to skin according to UN GHS and EU CLP regulation.

- Executive summary:
The eye irritant effect of Isomenthone was investigated according to the method recommended in the OECD TG 405, "Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion", Feb. 1987, and EEC Guideline B.5 "Acute Toxicity (Eye Irritation)", Jan. 1997. Four female albino rabbits were exposed to 0.1 mL of the test article in the left eye. The eyes were examined and the changes were graded according to a numerical scale one hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours as well as day 7 after dosing. Slight to well-defined signs of irritation were observed an the treated eyes. No significant eye irritation according to CLP Regulation was observed in the tested animals from mean scores following their grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation of the test material. On day 7 all animals were free of any signs of eye irritation. Therefore Isomenthone shall not be classified as eye irritating.

Additional information
Skin irritation / corrosion
Key study
Reaction mass of isomenthone and trans-menthone is considered to be irritating to skin. The reliable study in vitro (three tissues of human skin model EpiSkin) conducted according to OECD TG 439 and GLP showed decrease of mean relative absorbance value to 10.4 % (Heppenheimer 2012). This value is well below the threshold for irritancy of ≤ 50 %. Therefore the test item is considered to possess skin irritating potential.
Eye irritation / corrosion
Key study
The reliable in vivo study with rabbits (Schreiter 1999) conducted with Isomenthone according to OECD TG 405 is considered as valid for read across to Reaction mass of isomenthone and trans-menthone. In this study Isomenthone is not irritating to the eyes. Therefore it is concluded that the reaction mass of isomenthone and trans-menthone is not irritating to eye as well.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
GLP study performed according to OECD TG 439 (In vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method).
This in vitro study was selected as the key study since the registration item is a cosmetic raw material and starting from March 11th, 2009, it was enacted to ban the tests of cosmetic raw materials on animals in the EU. Therefore, no additional in-vivo study shall be performed. In addition, according to ECHA Chapter R.7a (Version 2.0, November 2012, page 174), it is expected that the EPISKIN test will be validated and endorsed as a full replacement of the in vivo test. The available in vitro study is therefore considered acceptable to serve as the key study.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
GLP study performed according to OECD TG 405. Read across from Isomenthone.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
- skin irritation / corrosion:
The results of the skin irritation / corrosion test of Reaction mass of isomenthone and trans-menthone show that the test item is a skin irritant. Accordingly Reaction mass of isomenthone and trans-menthone need to be classified as "R38 Irritating to skin" according to Council Directive 2001/59/EC (28th ATP of Directive 67/548/EEC) and as Category 2, "Warning - H315: Causes skin irritation" according to CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
- eye irritation/corrosion:
Based on the above stated assessment of the irritating properties of Reaction mass of isomenthone and trans-menthone, the results from a reliable study show that the substance is not corrosive or irritating to the eye. Accordingly the substance does not need to be classified according to Council Directive 2001/59/EC (28th ATP of Directive 67/548/EEC) and according to CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council) as implementation of UN GHS in the EU.
