- - Justification of the test method and considerations regarding applicability
In a prevalidation study performed by Avon Products Inc. and MatTek Corporation, the in vitro eye test using the human cornea model EpiOcular™ and measurement of cell viability by dehydrogenase conversion of MTT into a blue formazan salt have turned out as a sufficiently promising predictor for eye irritancy potential. The EpiOcular ™ Eye Irritation Test (EIT) was validated by the European Union Reference laboratory for Alternatives to Animal Testing (EURL ECVAM) and cosmetics Europe between 2008 and 2013.
- Description of the cell system used, incl. certificate of authenticity and the mycoplasma status of the cell live
RhCE tissue was used.
Cells used for the tissue production were screened for biological contamination and determined to be free of any contamination.

- Duration and temperature of exposure (30 min, 37 ± 1.5 °C), post-exposure immersion (12 ± 2 minutes, room temperature) and post-exposure incubation (122 minutes, 37 ± 1.5 °C) periods
- Description of any modifications to the test procedure: No modifications were done.
- Number of tissue replicates used per test chemical and controls: 2
- Description of the method used to quantify MTT formazan: OD measurement, no data on wavelength etc provided
- Description of evaluation criteria used including the justification for the selection of the cut-off point for the prediction model:
The mean OD value of the blank control wells (ODBlk) for each experiment were calculated. The ODBlk from each OD value of the same experiment (blank corrected values) were subtracted. The mean value of the two aliquots for each tissue (= corrected test item OD) were calculated. The mean value of the two relating tissues for each control and test item (= corrected mean OD) were calculated. For further calculations only the corrected mean negative control OD value was needed. The corrected OD value of the negative control corresponds to 100% viability. Corrected negative control OD = Negative Control OD - ODBfk = 100% Viability
If the test item-treated tissue viability is > 60% relative to the negative control treated tissue viability, the test item is labeled non-irritant. If the test item-treated tissue viability is ≤ 60% relative to negative control treated tissue viability, the test item is labeled irritant.
- Positive and negative control means and acceptance ranges based on historical data:
negative control OD: > 0.8 and < 2.5; mean relative viability of the positive control: below 60% of the negative control viability
- Acceptable variability between tissue replicates for positive and negative controls: < 20%
- Acceptable variability between tissue replicates for the test chemical: < 20%

The optical pre-experiment (colour interference pre-experiment) to investigate the test item’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 item with MTT-reagent did not show blue colour.
The mean relative absorbance value of the test item, corresponding to the cell viability, decreased to 39.3 % (threshold for irritancy:≤60 %), consequently the test item was irritant to eye.
Concerning acceptance criteria:
-The negative control OD is >0.8 and < 2.5 (1.274 and 1.339).
-The mean relative viability of the positive control is below 60 % of the negative control viability (32.0 %).
-The difference of viability between the two relating tissues of a single item is < 20 % (values between 2.6 % to 5.0 %) in the same run (for positive and negative control tissues and tissues of single test items).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Category 1 or 2 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test substance was determined to be an eye irritant in the in vitro Reconstructed human Cornea-like Epithelium.
- Executive summary:
The in vitro Reconstructed human Cornea-like Epithelium study according to OECD 492 was performed to assess the irritation potential of the test substance. Independent duplicate tissues of EpiOcular were exposed to either the test item, the negative control (deionised water) or the positive control (Methyl acetate) for 30 min. 50 μL of the test item were dispensed directly onto duplicate EpiOcular tissue surface. After exposure of the tissues to the test substance the mean tissue viability decreased to 39.3 %. This value is below the threshold for irritation, which is defined to be ≤ 60 %. Therefore, the test substance was considered to be eye irritating or cause serious damage to the eye.
