Additional information

In a skin irritation study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP (LPT, 2002b), 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane was not irritating to the skin of Himalayan rabbits. In total, three rabbits received semiocclusive application of 0.5 ml of the test substance. Following exposure for one hour, observed skin reactions were limited to mild erythema in one of three animals only, however, the effects of this was fully reversible after 48 h. There were no systemic effects.  

In an eye irritation study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP (LPT, 2002c), 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane was not irritating to the eyes of Himalayan rabbits. The test substance was applied as a single instillation into the conjunctival sac of the rabbits. No irritation effect was observed for cornea opacity, iris irritation, conjunctivae or chemosis. However, following exposure to the test substance for one hour, it was observed that two of three animals had conjunctivae (fully reversible within 24 and 48 hours resepectively) and chemosis (fully reversible within 24 hours). However, since only 24/48/72 hours is considered (according to the OECD test guideline), this is established as non-irritant to the eyes. There were no systemic effects.  

Skin and eye irritation tests on all analogue group substances are included in support of the read-across justification for other endpoints.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available in vivo data, 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane is not classified for skin or eye irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
