Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- other: In vitro test with chicken eyes.
- Strain:
- not specified
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- Approximately 7 weeks old, male or female chickens (ROSS, spring chickens), body weight range approximately 1.5 2.5 kg, were used as eye donors. Heads of these animals were obtained from a poultry slaughterhouse in the Netherlands. Heads of the animals were cut off immediately after sedation of the animals by electric shock and incision of the neck for bleeding. The heads were placed in small plastic boxes on a bedding of paper tissues moistened with isotonic saline. Next, they were transported to the testing facility. During transportation, the heads were kept at ambient temperature.
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: Negative control - 1 eye
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 30 μL undiluted.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 10 seconds
- Observation period (in vivo):
- Eyes were examined at approximately 0, 30, 75, 120, 180 and 240 minutes after treatment
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- Negative control - 1 eye
Positive control - 3 eyes
Test group - 3 eyes - Details on study design:
- Within 2 hours after kill, eyes were carefully dissected and the eye lids were carefully removed without damaging the cornea. Next, the head with the fluorescein treated cornea was examined to ensure that the cornea is not damaged. If undamaged, the eye was further dissected from the head without damaging the eye or cornea. The enucleated eye was placed in a stainless steel clamp with the cornea positioned vertically and transferred to a chamber of the superfusion apparatus. The clamp holding the eye was positioned in such a way that the entire cornea was supplied with isotonic saline from a bent, stainless steel tube, at a target rate of 0.10 - 0.15 mL/min (temperature controlled at approximately 32˚C). Corneal thickness was measured using the Depth Measuring Attachment No. I for the Haag Streit slit lamp microscope. An accurate measurement was taken at the corneal apex of each eye. Eyes with a corneal thickness deviating more than 10% of the average corneal thickness of the eyes, eyes that show opacity (score higher than 0.5), or are unacceptably stained with fluorescein (score higher than 0.5) indicating the cornea to be permeable, or eyes that show any other signs of damage, was rejected as test eyes and replaced. Each eye provided its own baseline values for corneal swelling, corneal opacity and fluorescein retention. For that purpose, after an equilibration period of 45 - 60 minutes, the corneal thickness of the eyes was measured again to determine the zero reference value for corneal swelling calculations.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other:
- Remarks:
- Category 2 (irritating to eyes)
- Conclusions:
- The test substance caused slight corneal swelling, slight to moderate opacity, and slight fluorescein retention. The calculated Irritation Index was 65 (max possible score is 200).
- Executive summary:
A sample of test substance_EC 202-870-9 was evaluated neat for eye irritation potential in the Isolated Chicken Eye (ICE) test. In addition, the test included one negative control (saline) eye and three positive control eyes (BAC 5%). Chicken eyes were obtained from slaughter animals used for human consumption. The isolated chicken eyes were exposed to a single application of 30 µL of the test sample for 10 seconds followed by a 20 ml saline rinse. Three main parameters were measured to disclose possible adverse eye effects: corneal thickness (expressed as corneal swelling), corneal opacity and fluorescein retention of damaged epithelial cells.
Test substance_EC 202-870-9 caused slight corneal swelling, slight to moderate opacity, and slight fluorescein retention.The calculated Irritation Index was 65 (max possible score is 200).
The negative control (saline) caused no corneal effects.
The positive control BAC 5% caused moderate corneal swelling, severe opacity and severe fluorescein retention. The calculated Irritation Index was 147.
According to CLP classification schemes of the ICE, test substance_EC 202-870-9 is considered to be Category 2: “Irritating to eyes” (EU-CLPclassification).
