Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the responses 24 & 72 hours after exposure to Tris (2-ethylhexyl)trimellitate/Nuoplaz 6959/TOTM as supplied it was not classified as a primary skin irritant to albino rabbits within the definition of the ACT reference: section 1500.3 (c) (4).
Executive summary:

Acute dermal irritation has been assessed in the rabbit using FHSA test methods with a 24 hour exposure.

The irritation observed was not of sufficient severity or persistence for the substance to require classification as a skin irritant.

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

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Additional information

Acute dermal irritation has been assessed in the rabbit using FHSA test methods with a 24 hour exposure.

The irritation observed was not of sufficient severity or persistence for the substance to require classification as a skin irritant.

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

Justification for classification or non-classification

Observed response in both a skin irritation study and an eye irritation study was not of sufficient severity or persistence to require classification.
