Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
No in vitro or in vivo skin or eye irritation data are available for 3-(triethoxysilyl)propiononitrile, therefore the available data for the related substance 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propriononitrile have been read across.
In a non-GLP skin irritation study that was similar to OECD Test Guideline 404, the test material was slightly irritating (minor erythema in 6/6 animals and slight oedema in 1/6 animals) to the skin of rabbit (Bushy Run Research Center, 1982).
In a non-GLP eye irritation study that was similar to OECD Test Guideline 405, the test material was slightly irritating (minor corneal injury, iritis, and conjunctival redness and chemosis) to the eyes of rabbits (Bushy Run Research Center, 1982).
In both cases the irritation was minor and therefore not sufficient to trigger classification. There are no data for respiratory tract irritation; however, based on the skin and eye irritation data, respiratory tract irritation is not expected.

Additional information
No in vitro or in vivo skin or eye irritation data are available for 3-(triethoxysilyl)propiononitrile, therefore the available data for the related substance 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propiononitrile have been read across.
In a non-GLP skin irritation study that was similar to OECD Test Guideline 404, minor skin reactions were observed that were not fully reversed in one animal (out of six) at the end of the 7-day observation period. However, it is likely that this would have been reversed if the study had been extended to the standard 14-days specified in current guidelines.
In a non-GLP eye irritation study that was similar to OECD Test Guideline 405, application of 0.1 mL of undiluted 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propiononitrile to the eyes of six New Zealand white rabbits resulted in conjunctival scores (mean of 24, 48 and 72 hours) of between 0 (five animals) and 0.33 (one animal), chemosis scores (mean of 24, 48, 72 hours) between 0 (five animals) and 0.33 (one animal), cornea scores (mean of 24, 48, 72 hours) between 0 (five animals) and 0.33 (one animal). Minor corneal injury, trace iritis, conjunctival redness and chemosis were observed shortly after instillation of the test material but quickly disappeared. It is concluded that the test substance is not irritating to the eye.
Please refer to the RAAF read-across justification document attached to Section 13 for more details.
Justification for classification or non-classification
On the basis of the available in vivo data for the related substance 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propiononitrile, the registered substance
3-(triethoxysilyl)propiononitrile is not classified as a skin or eye irritant according to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
