Irritant / corrosive response data:
There were no positive ocular findings noted during the study. All animals had minor conjunctival irritation that had completely subsided by day 3.

Any other information on results incl. tables

No death or significant body weight changes were observed. No corneal or iridal reactions were noted. Minor conjunctival reactions were noted in the treated eye of all animals. Conjunctival irritation subsided in 1 animal by day 2 and two animals by day 3. Redness was observed in two animals up to 48 hours, and in one animal up to 24 hours. Discharge was noted in one animal at 1 hour. Mean scores at the 1, 24, 48 and 72 hour time points were, 2.7, 2.0, 1.3 and 0.0, respectively. A maximum average score of 2.7 was calculated at the one-hour time point, indicating that  Tris(2-methoxyethoxy)vinylsilane was a mild irritant to the rabbit eye under the exposure conditions employed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study, conducted according to OECD test guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, the test substance was found to be a mild irritant, as determined in a reliable study. The observed effects do not meet the criteria for classification as an eye irritant in the EU.
