Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In the eye irritation study, conducted according to OECD TG 405, in compliance with GLP, the test material, 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,1,3,5,5-pentaphenyltrisiloxane, was reported to be not irritating to the eye of rabbits.
Executive summary:

1,3,5-trimethyl-1,1,3,5,5-pentaphenyltrisiloxane was tested in a valid eye irritation study conducted according to an appropriate OECD test guideline, and in compliance with GLP.

Following single instillation of 0.1 mL of undiluted test material into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of 3 rabbits, no irritation was observed into the test eye of any of the animals. The cornea, iris and conjunctivae were not affected by the test material.

1,3,5-trimethyl-1,1,3,5,5-pentaphenyltrisiloxane was reported to be not irritating under the conditions of the study.
