Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Ocular Irritection Assay System (refinement of the former Eyetex method)The system evalutes the ocular hazard effects of test chemicals based on the premise that eye irritation and corneal opacity after exposure to rirritating substances are the result of perturbation or denaturation of corneal proteins. The test method makes use of a macromolecular reagent composed of a mixture of proteins and glycoproteins, carbohydrates, lipids and low molecular weight components, which when rehydrated, form an ordered molecular matrix mimicking the structure of the transparent cornea. Irritating substances produce a turbidity of the reagent by changing both protein conformation and degree of hydration. Changes in the turbidity of the reagent solution caused by the tested material can be quantified by measuring an increase in the light scattering detected at a wavelenght of 405 nm with the help of a spectrometer. The increase in optical density produced by the test material is compared with that produced by a set of calibration substances each of which having previously estimated in vivo irritancy potential.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: classified under Regulation 1272/2008

Conclusions:

The substance was tested for eye irritation potential by means of Ocular Irritection Assay. Under the experimental conditions the substance showed eye irritation properties.

Executive summary:

The substance was tested for eye irritation potential by means of Ocular Irritection Assay. Doses of 1, 5, 10 and 25 % of the test item were applied to the matrix mimicking the ordered structure of the cornea for 5h. Irritection score were all,except one, in the mild range. Under the experimental conditions the substance showed an increase in turbidity and therefore eye irritation properties classified as H318, Category 1.
