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 a skin irritation study conducted in accordance with OECD 404 and GLP (reliability score 1), hexadecyl(trimethoxy)silane was minimally transiently irritating to the skin of one of three rabbits. There were no systemic effects reported.
