Erythema or oedema were seen for up to 8 days, scaling continued to study termination at 14 days. (Limited information appear to be presented on observations post-72h.)

No systemic toxicity was reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are met, Category 2 (irritant) classification required according to Regulations (EC) No. 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In a skin irritation study conducted largely in accordance with OECD 404, but without GLP status (reliability score 2), trimethoxy(propyl)silane was irritating to the skin of rabbits.
