Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the test, Solvent Red 119 is considered non-eye irritant in the Epi-
OcularTM Eye Irritation Test.
After treatment with the test item, the mean value of relative tissue viability was 102.0 %.
This value is above the threshold for eye irritation potential (≤ 60%).
All validity criteria were met. The criterion for optical density of the negative control was
fulfilled: The OD value was 1.7 (> 0.8 and < 2.5).
The positive control induced a decrease in tissue viability as compared to the negative
control to 35.7%.
The variation within the replicates of negative control, positive control and test item was
acceptable (< 20%).
For these reasons, the result of the test is considered valid.

Executive summary:

One valid experiment was performed.

The test item Solvent Red 119 was applied to a three-dimensional human cornea tissue

model in duplicate for an exposure time of 6 hours.

The solid test item was applied to each tissue.

After treatment, the respective substance was rinsed from the tissue; then, cell viability of

the tissues was evaluated by addition of MTT, which can be reduced to formazan. The

formazan production was evaluated by measuring the optical density (OD) of the resulting

solution.

Demineralised water was used as negative control and methyl acetate was used as positive

control.

The controls showed the following results: After treatment with the negative control, the

absorbance values were within the required acceptability criterion of mean OD > 0.8 and <

2.5, OD was 1.7. The positive control showed clear eye irritating effects, mean value of the

relative tissue viability was 35.7 % (< 50%).

Variation within tissue replicates was acceptable (< 20%).

After treatment with the test item, the mean value of relative tissue viability was 102.0 %.

This value is above the threshold for eye irritation potential (≤ 60%).

Under the conditions of the test, Solvent Red 119 is considered

non-eye irritant in the EpiOcularTM Eye Irritation Test.
