Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study that predates international guidelines and GLP (reliability score 2), only minor, transient eye irritation was observed following instillation of triethoxy(methyl)silane into the eyes of six rabbits. The Draize score of 0.06 (out of 13) would indicate that the test material would not be considered irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
