- PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
:
All eyes were macroscopically examined before and after dissection. Only corneas free of damage were used.
The cornea from each selected eye was removed leaving a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera to facilitate handling. The iris and lens were peeled away from the cornea. The isolated corneas were immersed in a dish containing HBSS until they were mounted in Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) holders.
The anterior and posterior chambers of each BCOP holder were filled with complete Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM) without phenol red and plugged. The holders were incubated at 32 ± 1 ºC for 60 minutes. At the end of the incubation period each cornea was examined for defects. Only corneas free of damage were used.
Selection of Corneas and Opacity Reading
The medium from both chambers of each holder was replaced with fresh complete EMEM.
Three corneas were randomly allocated to the negative control. Three corneas were also allocated to the test item and three corneas to the positive control item.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES : negative control, positive control and test item were all preformed in triplicate
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED : The negative control item, sodium chloride 0.9% w/v, was used as supplied.
SOLVENT CONTROL USED (if applicable) : not applicable as test item used as supplied
POSITIVE CONTROL USED: The positive control item, Ethanol used as supplied.
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME : 0.75 Ml of test item
TREATMENT METHOD: [closed chamber / open chamber] : not specified
POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: yes, 90 minutes at 32°C (application of Sodium Fluorescein)
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: Cornea were rinsed 3 times with fresh complete EMEM contaning phenol red before a final rinse with complete EMEM without phenol red.
A post-treatment opacity reading was taken and each cornea was visually observed.
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: The change in opacity for each cornea (including the negative control) was calculated by subtracting the initial opacity reading from the final opacity reading. These values were then corrected by subtracting the average change in opacity observed for the negative control corneas. The mean opacity value of each treatment group was then calculated by averaging the corrected opacity values of each cornea for that treatment group.
- Corneal permeability: The corrected OD492 was calculated by subtracting the mean OD492 of the negative control corneas from the OD492 value of each treated cornea. The OD492 value of each treatment group was calculated by averaging the corrected OD492 values of the treated corneas for the treatment group.
- Others : In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS): The following formula was used to determine the In Vitro Irritancy Score:
In Vitro Irritancy Score = mean opacity value + (15 x mean permeability OD492 value)
Visual Observations: The condition of the cornea was visually assessed post treatment.
Additionally, the opacity and permeability values were evaluated independently to determine whether the test item induced a response through only one of the two endpoints.
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
IVIS UN GHS
≤ 3: No Category
>3; ≤ 55: No prediction can be made
> 55: Category 1
DECISION CRITERIA: Criteria for an Acceptable test:
For an acceptable test the following positive control criterion should be achieved:
Neat ethanol was used for positive control purposes. The test was acceptable if the positive control produced an In Vitro Irritancy Score which fell within two standard deviations of the historical mean collated during the previous 12 months for this testing facility.
For an acceptable test the following negative control criteria should be achieved:
Sodium chloride 0.9% w/v was used for negative control purposes. The test was acceptable if the negative control produced an In Vitro Irritancy Score which is less than or equal to the upper limit for background opacity and permeability values calculated from the previous 12 months data for this testing facility.

The corneas treated with the test item were clear post treatment and post incubation. The corneas treated with the negative control item were clear post treatment and post incubation. The corneas treated with the positive control item were cloudy post treatment and post incubation.
Criteria for an Acceptable Test
The positive control In Vitro Irritancy Score was within the acceptance range.
Liquids: the IVIS should fall within the range 30.8 to 66.0. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
The negative control gave opacity and permeability values below the established upper limits.
When testing liquids the negative control upper limit for opacity should be <= 2.3 and for permeability <=0.036. The negative control acceptance criteria were therefore satisfied.

- Executive summary:
Introduction
The purpose of this test was to identify test items that can induce serious eye damage and to identify test items not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage. The Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) test method is an organotypic model that provides short‑term maintenance of normal physiological and biochemical function of the bovine corneain vitro. In this test method, damage by the test item is assessed by quantitative measurements of changes in corneal opacity and permeability.
The test method can correctly identify test items (both chemicals and mixtures) inducing serious eye damage as well as those not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage, as defined by the United Nations (UN) Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Items (GHS) and EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) of chemicals (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008), and it was therefore endorsed as scientifically valid for both purposes. Test items inducing serious eye damage are classified as UN GHS and EU CLP Category 1. Items not classified for eye irritation or serious eye damage are defined as those that do not meet the requirements for classification as UN GHS/EU CLP Category 1 or 2 (2A or 2B), i.e. they are referred to as UN GHS/EU CLP No Category.
Method
The undiluted test item was applied for 10 minutes followed by an incubation period of 120 minutes. Negative and positive control items were tested concurrently. The two endpoints, decreased light transmission through the cornea (opacity) and increased passage of sodium fluorescein dye through the cornea (permeability) were combined in an empirically derived formula to generate anIn VitroIrritancy Score (IVIS).
Data Interpretation
The test item is classified according to the prediction model as follows:
IVIS
Classification
≤ 3
No category. Not requiring classification to UN GHS or EU CLP
> 3; ≤55
No prediction of eye irritation can be made
> 55
Category 1. UN GHS or EU CLP Causes serious eye damage
