Materials and methods
Test guidelineopen allclose all
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- 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)
- Qualifier:

- Guideline:
- EU method B.47 (Bovine corneal opacity and permeability test method for identifying ocular corrosives and severe irritants)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- High opacity scores were obtained in the test and the corneas were stained dark purple by the substance, and thus, the opacity scores may have been due to the staining. Therefore conform the guidance additional histopathology was performed

- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- The positive control was slightly out of range. This was evaluated and considered not to have affected the study validity.
The purple staining of cornea by the test substance may have influenced the opacity reading. This was checked by histologically processing and microscopically evaluation of the isolated bovine eye corneas after in vitro testing (see below)
The histopathology findings were only low grade and restricted to the upper layers of the epithelium, so were not typical of the histopathological findings that would be expected following exposure of the cornea to substances having the potential to cause serious eye damage associated with dense corneal opacity (i.e. not consistent with the corneal effects commonly induced by Category 1 substances). So, it is very likely that the high scores for opacity in the BCOP test were due primarily to staining of the cornea by the test item.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Remarks:
- according to the criteria set up in the OECD guideline 437
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of the test the substance is considered not severely damaging to the eyes
- Executive summary:
In a BCOP assay bovine corneas were exposed to the substance and assessed for opacity and permeability. Opacity was strongly increased, while permeability was slightly increased compared to the negative controls. The calculation of the In Vitro Irritancy Score showed that the substance is severely damaging to the eyes. As it could not be excluded that staining of the cornea could have influenced the opacity readings, semi-quantitative histopathological evaluation of the corneas from eyes exposed to the substance was performed. This investigation gave scores below the threshold for classification of this material as Eye Category 1. Therefore the conclusion of the study is that the substance is not considered severely damaging to the eyes.
