Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
In the key skin irritation study corrosive effects were recorded.
In accordance with Column 2
of REACH Annex VII, the in vivo eye irritation study (required in
Section 8.2) does not need to be conducted as the available information
indicates that the substance meets the criteria for classification as
corrosive to skin.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- After patch removal the application site showed necrotic skin over the whole application area. Necrotic tissue covered the application area for 12 days showing erythema grade 2 and edema grade 2 at the edge of the application area the first day after application. Erythema and edema at the edge of the application area decreased to grade 1 on Day 2 and continued at grade 1 until the end of the study. The necrotic tissue dropped off the application area on Day 13, showing an open wound, only covered with a gauzy dry film, at the edges the skin was dry and necrotic. Similar observations were recorded on Day 14. No further animals were treated.
- Other effects:
- Slight weight loss, approximately 6%, was noted during the 14 day observation period.
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1A (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Tert-butyl(chloro)dimethylsilane causes severe corrosive effects to rabbit skin.

Additional information
In the key skin irritation study (BSL, 2005) application of tert-butyl(chloro)dimethylsilane to the skin of a rabbit for 4 hours resulted in necrosis of the application site which was noted immediately after patch removal. Erythema and edema were noted from 24 hours after patch removal. Necrosis, erythema and edema continued to be recorded during the 14-day observation period.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data tert-butyl(chloro)dimethylsilane requires classification for skin corrosion as Category 1A Corrosive (H314: causes severe skin burns and eye damage) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 due to necrosis at the application site being recorded immediately after patch removal. Furthermore, skin irritation data from other chlorosilane substances indicates Cat 1A Corrosive classification after a 3 minute exposure period (see attached supporting document, PFA, 2013r).
