Irritant / corrosive response data:
No observable effects on the cornea or iris were observed.
Hyperaemia or redness (grade 1 or 2) was seen in the conjunctiva at 1 and 24 h after application. This was resolved within two days of application.
Slight swelling (grade 1) or swelling with partial eversion of lids (grade 2) each occurred in one animal within one hour of treatment and resolved within 24 hours.
Slight discharge was noted in one animal within one hour of application only.
Other effects:
There were no overt signs of systemic toxicity or mortality over the duration of the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 405 but not in compliance with GLP (reliability score 2), triethoxy(3-thiocyanatopropyl)silane was non-irritating when 0.1 mL applied undiluted to the eyes of rabbits (one male, two females), with observations up to 72 hours. The mean individual 24/48/72-hour scores were 0 for the cornea, iris, and chemosis (all individual timepoint scores at 24-72 hours were 0). For conjunctival redness, the mean individual 24/48/72-hour scores were 0-0.66, and fully resolved in the two affected animals within 48 hours.
