Additional information

A comparison has been made of the predictive powers for organosilicate substance of two reconstituted three-dimensional human skin models, EpiSkin-SM™ and EpiDerm™, in OECD 439 studies. It has been concluded that one of the skin models tends to over predict skin irritation for these substances and the other tends to under predict. Therefore tris(isopropenyloxy)(vinyl)silane has been tested in both EpiSkin and EpiDerm assays. The results of both studies were negative, so it is concluded that the registered substance is not irritating to skin.

Tris(isopropenyloxy)(vinyl)silane has been tested in two reliable in vitro studies for skin irritation conducted according to OECD 439 and in compliance with GLP using EpiSkin-SM tissue (BSL Bioservice, 2015a) and EpiDerm (BSL Bioservice, 2015b). The mean tissue viability of the test-item treated tissues was not reduced relative to the negative controls in either tissue. The positive control produced the expected reduction in viability. It is concluded that the test item is not irritant under the conditions of the tests.

The eye irritancy potential of tris(isopropenyloxy)(vinyl)silane has been investigated in a valid in vitro bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay conducted in accordance with OECD 437 and in compliance with GLP (BSL Bioservice, 2015c). The following mean in vitro irritation score was calculated: 1.33. The in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control fell within the two standard deviations of the current historical mean and therefore this assay is considered to be valid. It is concluded that the test substance is not irritating to the eye.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
The available in vitro studies were conducted in accordance with the relevant OECD guideline and in compliance with GLP.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
The available in vitro study was conducted in accordance with the relevant OECD guideline and in compliance with GLP.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available in vitro data, tris(isopropenyloxy)(vinyl)silane does not require classification for skin or eye irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
