- Details on study design:
- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS:
The cornea was carefully removed from the eye using scalpel and rounded scissors. A rim of about 2 mm of tissue (sclera) was left for stability and handling of the isolated cornea. Each cornea was mounted in a specially designed cornea holder.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS:
At the end of the equilibration period, the basal opacity was determined (t0). Each cornea with a value of the basal opacity >7 was discarded.
TREATMENT METHOD:
The cornea holder consists of anterior and posterior compartments, which interface with the epithelial and endothelial sides of the cornea, respectively. The endothelial side of the cornea was positioned against the sealing ring (O-ring) of the posterior part of the holder. The cornea was gently flattened over the O-ring but stretching was avoided. The anterior part of the holder was positioned on the top of the cornea and fixed in place with screws. Both compartments of the holder were filled with incubation medium. The posterior compartment was filled first to return the cornea to its natural convex position. The anterior compartment received the test substance or the controls on the surface of the corneae. The corneae were incubated in a horizontal position at 32 ± 1°C in the water-bath for 10 minutes.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE:
The test substance was rinsed off from the application side with saline.
- POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION: 2 h in a vertical position
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Corneal opacity was determined by the amount of light transmission through the cornea via an opacitometer (OP_KiT opacitometer, Electro Design, France).
- Corneal permeability: The passage of sodium fluorescein dye was measured with the aid of a microplate reader (Versamax Molecular Devices) at 490 nm.
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
DECISION CRITERIA:
Test substance with an IVIS > 55 was regarded as severe irritant/corrosive and labelled Category 1.
Test substance with an IVIS ≤ 3 was regarded as non-irritant and labelled in no category.
Test substance with an IVIS > 3; ≤ 55 no prediction can be made. - Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- mean value of 3 corneae
- Value:
- 0.81
- Vehicle controls validity:
- not applicable
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- With the negative control (0.9% (w/v) NaCl solution in deionised water) neither an increase of opacity nor permeability of the corneae could be observed.
The positive control (2-ethoxyethanol) showed clearly increased opacity and distinctive permeability of the corneae fullfilling the criteria as severe irritating/corrosive.
Relative to the negative control, the test substance did not cause an increase of the corneal opacity or permeability.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: The negative control resulted in an IVIS which was within two standard deviations of the current historical mean.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: The positive control resulted in opacity and permeability values that were less than the established upper limits for background opacity and permeability values for bovine corneae treated with the respective negative control. - Interpretation of results:
- other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the BCOP assay the test substance was not irritating to the eye. Application of the test substance to bovine corneae resulted in a calculated mean IVIS of 0.81.
- Executive summary:
Relative to the negative control, the test item JACINTHAFLOR® did not cause any increase of the corneal opacity or permeability. The calculated mean in vitro irritancy score was 0.81. According to OECD 437 the test item is not categorized (GHS).

Additional information
Skin
The skin irritation potential of the test substance was determined by an in vivo skin irritation test in rabbits according to OECD Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP (2000). In this study the test substance was not irritating to skin.
Eye
The eye irritation potential of the test substance was determined in a bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP) test according to OECD Guideline 437 and in compliance with GLP (2015). In this study the test substance was not irritating to the eye.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on skin and eye irritation do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008
