Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The eye irritancy potential of [2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]trimethoxysilane has been investigated in a valid in vitro bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay conducted in accordance with OECD 437 and in compliance with GLP. The following mean in vitro irritation score was calculated: 0.27. The in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control fell within the two standard deviations of the current historical mean and therefore this assay is considered to be valid. It is concluded that the test substance is not irritating to the eye.
