Any other information on results incl. tables

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 <= 3: 0.71

Values for positive controls were within the range of historical data of the test facility 75.32 -143.16: 104.42

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test, the test item Stearyl Sulfobetaine showed effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated mean IVIS was 20.70.
According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Jun. 2020), a substance with an IVIS > 3 and ≤ 55 induces effects on the cornea, that cannot be classified in an UN GHS Category with the BCOP test only. In this case no prediction can be made.
