Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal injury, iritis, or chemosis was observed in any of the eyes. Within one hour of application, minor transient conjunctival irritation (redness) was observed in 5/6 animals. All eyes were normal within 48 hours.
Other effects:
None reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In the key eye irritation study conducted in a manner equivalent or similar to OECD Test Guideline 405 (GLP not specified, reliability score 2), read-across substance 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propanethiol was not irritating to the eyes of New Zealand white rabbits.
