- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- TEST MODEL (EpiOcular™ Kit)
- Source: MatTek Corporation, Ashland, USA
- Lot No.: 21572
TEST METHOD
The EpiOcular™ tissue consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a stratified squamous epithelium similar to that found in the human cornea. It consists of basal cells which progressively flatten out as the apical surface of the tissue is approached, analogous to the normal in vivo corneal epithelium. Irritant materials are identified by their ability to damage the underlying cell layers which is determined through a decrease in cell viability as determined by MTT reduction.
ADAPTATION TO CELL CULTURE CONDITIONS
1.0 mL assay medium (37 °C) was aliquoted into 6-well plates. The inserts with EpiOcular™ tissues were transferred aseptically into the plates and pre-incubated at standard culture conditions for 1 h. Afterwards, the medium was replaced by 1 mL fresh assay medium and the EpiOcular™ tissues were incubated at standard culture conditions overnight (18 h). After the overnight incubation, the tissues were pre-wetted with 20 µL of Ca²+ Mg²+ free DPBS. The tissues were incubated at standard culture conditions for 30 min.

The test was performed in duplicate for each treatment and control group. - Details on study design:
- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 0.6 cm²
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: At the end of the treatment time, the test substance was removed by extensively rinsing the tissues with Ca²+Mg²+ free DPBS in clean beakers.
- Post-treatment incubation period: 2 h
CELL VIABILITY MEASUREMENTS
For determining alterations in cell viability, MTT reduction assays were performed. Therefore, a volume of 300 µL MTT solution was added to each well for 3 h at standard culture conditions. After removal of the MTT solution, wells were rinsed three times with Ca²+Mg²+ free DPBS. Extraction of the formazan product was carried out in 2 mL isopropanol. At the end of the extraction period the optical density (OD) was measured. - Irritation parameter:

The optical pre-experiment (colour interference pre-experiment) to investigate the test substance’s colour change potential in water or isopropanol did not led to a change in colour. Optical evaluation of the MTT-reducing capacity of the test substance with MTT-reagent did not show blue colour. Therefore, additional tests with viable or freeze-killed tissues were not performed.
All acceptance criteria were met.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not irritating)
Respiratory irritation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
There is only one study available.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
The reliable GLP compliant OECD Guideline study was chosen.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on skin irritation meet the criteria for classification as Skin Irrit. Cat. 2 (H315) according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
The available data on eye irritation do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
