Cattle were between 12 and 60 months old.ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS- Temperature (°C): 32+-1°C- Eyes were transported to the test facility in Hank´s balanced salt solution (supplemented with 0.01% streptomycin and 0.01% penicillin)

Test system

Amount / concentration applied:

The test item is a liquid substance. It was tested directly, without dilution or preparation of a solution.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

incubated with test item for 10 min

Details on study design:

SCORING SYSTEM:baseline opacity for each cornea was recordedTOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: spectral photometer, 570 nm

Results and discussion

In vitro

Results

Irritation parameter:

in vitro irritation score

Value:

73.24

Any other information on results incl. tables

The negative control showed no irritating effect on the cornea and the calculated In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS) is 0.30. Dimethylformamide (DMF) undiluted was used as positive control. The positive control induced serious eye damage on the cornea and falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean. The calculated IVIS is 73.24.

Under the conditions of this study, the test item MAEEBP showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS is 0.14.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, the test item MAEEBP showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS is 0.14.According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Jul. 2013), a substance with an IVIS ≤ 3 requires no classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage.
