Irritant / corrosive response data:
The erythema observations of group 1 (3 minutes application) showed that less than a quarter or half of the treated area, in all the individuals, was burnt. Dryness of the treated area could be also observed 72 hours post-treatment. Very slight edema was noted in 4 individuals, within the observation period.

The erythema observations of group 2 (4 hours application) showed that the treated area was necrotic and dry throughout the whole observation period. Slight to moderate edema was reported in most of the individuals within 72 hours post-exposure.
Other effects:
The severe lesions in group 1 (3 minutes application) at 72-hour observation, were reported to be noticeably reversible within 14 days post-application. However, when the test substance was applied for 4 hours to the area in group 2, no reversibility could be observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The skin irritation study, conducted according to OECD TG 404 and in compliance with GLP, reports that the substance, 1-methyl-N,N',N''-tris(1-methylpropyl)silanetriamine, is corrosive.
