Conclusions:
MEA Polyborate 1:3 is not severe irritant or corrosive in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test under the experimental conditions described in the report.
Executive summary:

Screening for the eye irritancy potential of MEA Polyborate 1:3 using the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test (BCOP test).

 

This summary describes the ocular irritation properties of MEA Polyborate 1:3 on an isolated bovine cornea. The possible ocular irritancy of MEA Polyborate 1:3 was tested through topical application for 10 ± 1 minutes.

 

Batch EU-01696 of MEA Polyborate 1:3 was a clear colourless liquid with a purity of 68% salt in water. The test substance was applied as it is (750 µl) directly on top of the corneas.

 

The negative control responses of the opacity and permeability values were less than the upper limits of the laboratory historical range indicating that the negative control did not induce irritancy on the corneas. The mean in vitro irritancy score of the positive control (10% (w/v) Benzalkonium Chloride) was 144 and was within the historical positive control data range. It was therefore concluded that the test conditions were adequate and that the test system functioned properly.

 

MEA Polyborate 1:3 did not induce ocular irritation through both endpoints, resulting in a mean in vitro irritancy score of 0.0 after 10 minutes of treatment.

 

Finally, it is concluded that this test is valid and that MEA Polyborate 1:3 is not severe irritant or corrosive in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test under the experimental conditions described in the report.
