Other effects / acceptance of results:
In this ICET, CALCIUM DIGLYCINATE did not cause ocular corrosion or severe irritation in the enucleated chicken eyes. The overall ICE classes were thrice II (based on the corneal swelling of 18% within 240 minutes, the corneal opacity score of 1.0 and fluorescein retention of 0.7).
Positive and negative controls showed the expected results. The experiment was considered to be valid.
According to the guideline OECD 438, CALCIUM DIGLYCINATE overall in vitro classification is neither UN GHS Classification Category I (an ocular corrosive or severe eye irritant) nor No Category. Thus, according to the guideline OECD 438, test item has been categorized as “No prediction can be made”.
