Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Not irritating
Executive summary:

In a study conducted according to OECD 405 and in compliance with GLP, diphenylsilanediol was found to be slightly irritating to rabbit eyes, the effects on the iris showing evidence of reversibility after 72 hours in some animals (further observations were not conducted). The substance does not meet the criteria for classification as Eye Irritant Category 2 according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
