IVIS Values

The calculated IVIS for each replicate and the corresponding means are presented in the following table:

Test Group	IVIS	Mean IVIS	Relative Standard Deviation IVIS
Negative Control 0.9 % NaCl	0.961	0.694	36.5 %
	0.456
	0.665
Test Item	2.146	3.396	42.8 %
	3.052
	4.989
Positive Control 20 % imidazole	76.216	118.590	31.7 %
	131.518
	148.037

Classification

According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Jul. 2013), a substance with an IVIS >3 and≤ 55 induces effects on the cornea, that cannot be classified in a UN GHS Category.

IVIS	UN GHS Category Eye Damage
≤ 3	No Category
> 3;≤ 55	No prediction can be made
> 55	Eye damage Category I

 

In the negative control, no signs of eye irritation were observed. The positive control showed seriouseye damage.

The test item KCCS DOB11 showed effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is 3.396.

Validity

According to the guideline, the test is considered as valid if the positive control causes an IVIS that falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean. The negative or solvent control has to show an IVIS between 0 and 3.

The validity criteria and findings are given in the following table:

Parameter	Criterion	Found	Assessment
IVIS of negative control 0.9% NaCl	0 - 3	0.694	ok
IVIS of positive control 20 % imidazole	35.6 - 130.4	118.590	ok

 

Two values of the positive control were not within the range of historical data of the test facility.This can be seen as uncritical because difference was marginal and the mean value was within the demanded range as well as within historical data. The study is considered as valid, because only one replicate of the test item gave a discordant prediction from the mean whereas the other two led to same assessment for the test item. The discordant replicate showed a value far below 65.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: KCCS DOB11 induces effects on the cornea. It cannot be classified in a UN GHS Category for eye damage. Because of the negative test result a sequential testing strategy is necessary.

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment

Conclusions:

A mean IVIS of 3.396 was calculated. Under the conditions of this test, the test item KCCS DOB11 showed effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Jul. 2013), a substance with an IVIS > 3 and ≤ 55 induces effects on the cornea, that cannot be classified in a UN GHS Category for eye damage.

Executive summary:

One valid experiment was performed. Bovine corneas were used. They were collected from slaughtered cattle which were between 12 and 60 months old.

The test item KCCS DOB11 was brought onto the cornea of a bovine eye which had been incubated with cMEM without phenol red at 32±1 °C for one hour and whose opacity had been measured. The test item was incubated on the cornea for 4 hours at 32±1 °C. After removal of the test item, opacity and permeability values were measured.

Physiological sodium chloride solution was used as negative control. The negative control showed no irritating effect on the cornea.

20% Imidazole solution was used as positive control. The positive control induced serious eye damage on the cornea.

Under the conditions of this test, the test item KCCS DOB11 showed effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is 3.396. According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Jul. 2013), a substance with an IVIS > 3 and≤ 55 cannot be classified in a UN GHS Eye Damage Category.
