Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Tris (2-ethylhexyl)trimellitate (TOTM) is not a primary ocular irritant within the definition of the Act Referenced 1500.42 (b) (1) (2).
Executive summary:

Acute eye irritation has been assessed in the rabbit using FHSA methods.

The severity and persistence of ocular response was not sufficient for the substance to require classification as an eye irritant
