Irritant / corrosive response data:
See Table 1. The test material caused slight conjunctival hyperemia in two animals and slight conjunctival chemosis in one animal at the 1 hour reading; these reactions had subsided at the subsequent readings (2 or 24 hours). The primary eye irritation score was calculated for the animals to be 0 (non-irritating).
Other effects:
A very slight immediate pain response was observed in all animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In a reliability score 1 eye irritation study, which was conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane (CAS 999-97-3) was non-irritating to rabbit eyes.
