- Remarks:
- Comparable to GLP-guideline study with acceptable restrictions: limited documentation; no scientific justification is given why the test substance was tested neat by direct application. The conclusion "A mean IVIS of -0.3690 was calculated, corresponding to a classification as not eye irritant." is not correct according to regulatory acceptance in the EU. The BCOP test is an in-vitro test method that can be used to classifiy substances as "ocular corrosives and severe irritants". For identifying non-severe irritants and non-irritants, in-vivo testing needs to take into account.

- TEST METHOD
The bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP) test is an in-vitro test method used to classify substances as “ocular corrosives and severe irritants”. The potential of a test substance to cause ocular corrosivity or severe irritancy is measured by its ability to induce opacity and increased permeability in an isolated bovine cornea. The opacity and permeability assessments of the cornea are combined to derive an in-vitro irritancy score (IVIS), which is used to classify the irritancy level of the test substance.
IDENTIFICATION OF THE SOURCE OF THE EYES, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT CONDITIONS
- Source: slaughterhouse Müller Fleisch GmbH (Enzstraße 2.4, 75217 Birkenfeld, Germany)
- Donor animals: between 12 and 60 months old
- Date and time of eye collection: 13 Apr 2011
- Transport medium and temperature conditions: Hanks´ Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS)
PREPARATION OF THE EYES (BEFORE EXPOSURE)
- Eyes free of defects (scratches, neovascularisation): yes
- Dissection of the eyes and treatment: Corneas were dissected with a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera. Isolated corneas were mounted in cornea holders.
- Type of cornea holder used: no data
- Description of the cornea holder: The cornea holders consist of an anterior and a posterior compartment, which interface with the epithelial and endothelial sides of the cornea.
- Test medium and temperature conditions used in the cornea holder: pre-warmed (32 °C) Eagle´s Minimum Essential Medium (MEM; supplemented with sodium bicarbonate, L-glutamine and 1% fetal calf serum.) without phenol red
- Equilibration time: 1 h at 32 ± 1 °C
- Quality check of the equilibrated corneas: The medium was changed and the baseline opacity for each cornea was recorded. The baseline opacity was measured by placing the holder with the cornea in a spectral photometer and recording the absorption at 570 nm. None of the corneas showed tissue damage.
DETERMINATION OF THE INITIAL OPACITY
- Method: Corneal opacity was determined by the amount of light transmission through the cornea via an opacitometer.

- Details on study design:
- TEST CONDITIONS
- Short description of the method used: open-chamber method: The glass window from the anterior chamber was removed prior to treatment. The controls or test substance were applied directly to the epithelial surface of the cornea. After dosing, the glass window was replaced on the anterior chamber to recreate a closed system.
POST-EXPOSURE TREATMENT
- Removal of the test substance: The test substance was removed from the anterior chamber and the epithelium washed with medium
- Medium for washing the corneas: MEM containing phenol red
- Medium for final rinsing: MEM without phenol red
DETERMINATION OF THE FINAL OPACITY
- Method: Corneal opacity was determined by the amount of light transmission through the cornea via an opacitometer.
- Time of determination: Directly after refilling fresh MEM without phenol red in the anterior chamber, the final opacity was measured.
DETERMINATION OF THE CORNEAL PERMEABILITY:
- Method: Sodium fluorescein solution was added to the anterior chamber of the cornea holder while the posterior chamber was filled with fresh medium. The amount of sodium fluorescein that crosses into the posterior chamber was quantitatively measured via UV/VIS spectrophotometry at 490 nm recorded as optical density (OD490).
- Amount and concentration of the dye: 1 mL sodium fluorescein solution (5 mg/mL; dissolved in PBS)
- Incubation time: x min at y °C: 90 ± 5 min at 32 ± 1 °C

Data evaluation
Calculation of opacity value: Opacity was calculated from the measured absorption at 570 nm.
O=1/10(-A)
O= Opacity
A= Absorption at 570 nm
Correction of measured absorption at 490 nm: As cuvettes with a pathlength of 0.2 cm were used in the measurement of the Fluorescein-Na solution in the spectral photometer, the pathlength must be corrected to 1 cm. Coefficient: 1/0.2=5
All absorptions were multiplied with this coefficient.
Calculation of IVIS (in-vitro irritancy score)
For the negative control: IVIS= mean opacity value + (15x mean corrected OD490 value)
For the test substance and the positive control: IVIS= (opacity - opacity (negative control) + [15x (corr. OD490 - mean corr. OD490 negative control).

- Evaluation criteria:
Test substance with an IVIS ≥ 55.1 was regarded as severe irritant/corrosive and labelled Category 1/R41.
- Acceptance criteria:
OECD 437: “A test is considered acceptable if the positive control gives an IVIS that falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean, which is to be updated at least every three months, or each time an acceptable test is conducted in laboratories where tests are conducted infrequently (i.e., less than once a month). The negative or solvent/vehicle control responses should result in opacity and permeability value that less than the establisher upper limits for background opacity and permeability values for bovine corneas treated with the respective negative or solvent/vehicle control.”
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not corrosive
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- There is regulatory acceptance in the EU that a substance can be considered as severe eye irritant (Serious eye damage Category 1/R41) based on a positive result in one of the available in-vitro test methods e.g. the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) test. Negative in-vitro corrosivity responses are not conclusive with respect to non-classification or classification as irritant (Category 2/R36) and shall therefore be subject to further evaluation.
