Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
A reliable eye irritation study, conducted according to OECD TG 405 but not in compliance with GLP, showed the test material, phenyltrimethoxy silane, would not be considered an eye irritant.
