- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- Species Bos primigenius Taurus (fresh bovine corneas)
Fresh bovine eyes were obtained from the slaughterhouse Müller Fleisch GmbH, Enzstr. 2-4, 75217 Birkenfeld, Germany, on the day of the test. The cattle were between 12 and 60 months old. The eyes were transported to the test facility in Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution with 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin solution (Penicillin 100 U/mL, Streptomycin 100 μg/mL) in a suitable cooled container.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test item showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS is 1.44.
- Executive summary:
This in vitro study, according to OECD guideline 437 and EU Method B.47, under GLP-conditions, was performed to assess corneal damage potential of the test item by quantitative measurements of changes in opacity and permeability in a bovine cornea.
Two experiments were performed. The first experiment was considered invalid because all of the three replicates caused different classifications. The first experiment is not reported but the raw data are kept in the GLP-archive of the test facility. The second experiment was considered as valid. Only the second experiment is reported here. The test item was brought onto the cornea of a bovine eye which previously had been incubated with cMEM without phenol red at 32 ± 1 °C for 1 hour and whose opacity had been determined. The test item was incubated on the cornea for 4 hours at 32 ± 1 °C. After removal of the test item, opacity and permeability values were measured. The test item was tested as 20% solution in HBSS. Under the conditions of this test, the test item showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS (In Vitro Irritancy Score) is 1.44. According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Oct. 2017), a substance with an IVIS ≤ 3 requires no classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage. The negative control (HBSS) and the positive control (20% imidazole solution) have met the validity criteria. No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study outcome. The test is considered valid.
