Test animals / tissue source

Species:
cattle
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
The bovine eyes, supplied by Joseph Morris Abattoir, were excised by an abattoir employee and collected as soon after slaughter as possible (last excised at 12:45 hours, 31 October 2017). Eyes were obtained from cattle aged less than 30 months. Instructions were given to avoid damaging the corneas during excision. Excised eyes were maintained and transported to the laboratory, at ambient temperature, in sufficient HBSS, containing 1% (v/v) penicillin/streptomycin solution, to cover all the eyes in the receptacle. The eyes were used within 4 hours of slaughter (incubation of mounted corneas commenced at 15:32 hours, 31 October 2017).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

The eye irritation test was performed according to the OECD Guideline 437 (Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test Method for Identifying i) Chemicals Inducing Serious Eye Damage and ii) Chemicals Not Requiring Classification for Eye Irritation or Serious Eye Damage).

It was concluded that the test substance is not irritating to the eye.
