Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study conducted to OECD 405 and to GLP (reliability score 1) N-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine caused serious damage to rabbit eyes, with effects that were not fully reversed in five of six during the 21-day observation period.
