Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
2,2,4,4,6,6-Hexamethylcyclotisilazane has been tested in a study conducted according to a protocol similar to OECD 405, prior to the adoption of OECD GLP guidelines. Application of 0.1 ml of undiluted test substance to the eyes of six New Zealand white rabbits resulted in conjunctival scores (mean of 24, 48 and 72 hours) of between 0 (two animals) and 1.67 (one animal). Chemosis scores (mean of 24, 48 and 72 hours) were between 0 (2 animals) and 0.67 (2 animals). No effects on iris or cornea were observed in any animal at any timepoint. It is concluded that the test substance is not irritating to the eye.
