The severity of the redness was slightly reduced in 2/3 rabbits and remained unchanged in 1/3 rabbits at the 24-hour reading time point. The chemosis was completely reversible within 72 hours. No effects on the cornea or iris were noted at any time point.

Additional information
Skin irritation
CAS 59219-71-5
A skin irritation study was performed with 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate (CAS 59219-71-5) according to a protocol similar to OECD guideline 404 (Masson, 1986). The shaved skin of 6 rabbits was exposed to 0.5 mL undiluted test material for 24 hours under occlusive conditions. The skin irritation effects were evaluated 24 and 72 hours after patch removal. At the 24-hour reading time point, very slight erythema (score 1) was noted in 5/6 rabbits and well-defined erythema (score 2) in 1/6 rabbits, respectively. All skin irritation effects had cleared completely within 72 hours after the exposure ended. The mean erythema scores (over 24, 48 and 72 hours) per animal were 1.33, 0.67, 0.67, 0.67, 0.67 and 0.67, respectively. No edema was observed in any animal, leading to mean edema scores (over 24, 48 and 72 hours) of 0. The test substance is not considered to be irritating to the skin.
Eye irritation
CAS 59219-71-5
An acute eye irritation study was performed with 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate (CAS 59219-71-5) according to a protocol similar to OECD guideline 405 (Dufour, 1990). 0.1 mL of the test substance was instilled into the eyes of 3 New Zealand White rabbits. The animals were observed for 72 hours and scoring was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation. 3/3 rabbits had slight to moderate chemosis (score 1 – 2) and severe redness (conjunctivae, score 3) at the 1-hour reading time point. At the 24-hour reading time point 1/3 rabbits had slight chemosis (score 1). The redness had reduced in severity 24 and 48 hours after instillation, and cleared completely within the 72-hour reading time point. The mean chemosis scores were 0, 0 and 0.33, respectively, and the effect was completely reversible within 48 hours. The conjunctivae mean scores were 1.67, 0.67 and 1.00, respectively. No effects on the cornea or iris were noted in any animal at any time point. The test substance is not considered to be irritating to the eye.
Overall conclusion for skin and eye irritation
The available data on 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate did not show skin or eye irritation effects. Therefore, 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate is not considered to be a skin irritant or an eye irritant.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
The key study was selected.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
The key study was selected.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on skin and eye irritation do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
