- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
After the arrival of the corneas, they were examined and only corneas which were free from dam-ages were used. The corneas were excised with a scalpel and cut from the globe with a 2-3 mm ring of sclera around the outside. Each cornea was transferred to a cornea holder in which pre-warmed cMEM (32 ± 1 °C) without phenol red was filled. The holders were then incubated for 1 hour in the incubation chamber at 32 ± 1 °C.
A pre treatment opacity reading was taken for each cornea using a calibrated opacitometer. The average opacity for all corneas was calculated.
Three corneas with opacity values close to the median value of all corneas were allocated to the negative control. Three corneas were also allocated to the test item and three corneas to the positive control item.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS
After the initial incubation, the medium was changed and the baseline opacity for each cornea was recorded. None of the corneas showed tissue damage; therefore, all corneas were used.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES
3 per treatment
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED
HBSS
POSITIVE CONTROL USED
Imidazole, 20 % solution in HBSS
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
ca 240 to 262 mg/cornea, 240 mins
TREATMENT METHOD: open chamber; direct application of the powder to the cornea
POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: for the permeability test, a sodium fluorescein solution with a concentration of 4 mg/mL was used. The chambers were then closed again and incubated for 90 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: At the end of the exposure period the test item and control items were removed from the anterior chamber and the cornea was rinsed three times with fresh complete EMEM containing phenol red before a final rinse with complete EMEM without phenol red. The anterior chamber was refilled with fresh complete EMEM without phenol red
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: the final opacity value of each cornea was recorded with the opacitometer. The change of opacity value of each treated cornea with test item, positive control and negative control was calculated by subtracting the initial basal opacity from the post treatment opacity reading for each cornea.
The average change in opacity of the negative control cornea was calculated and this value was subtracted from the change in opacity of each treated cornea with test item and positive control to obtain a corrected opacity.
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of microtiter plate photometer at 492 nm. The corrected OD492 value of each cornea treated with test item and positive control was calculat-ed by subtracting the mean negative control cornea value from the original permeability value for each cornea. The mean OD492 value for each treatment group (test item, positive control and negative control) was determined by averaging the final corrected OD492 values of the treated corneas for one treatment group.
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
The IVIS of each replicate of the negative control was calculated from the following equation:
IVIS = opacity difference + (15 x corrected OD492 value)
The IVIS of each replicate of the positive control and of the test item were calculated from the following equation:
IVIS = (opacity difference – mean opacity difference of the negative control) + [15 x (OD492 – mean OD492 of the negative control)]
DECISION CRITERIA: please specify if the decision criteria as indicated in the TG was used. Yes

DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY:
According to the guideline, the test is considered as valid if the positive control causes an IVIS that falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean.
The negative control has to show an IVIS ≤ 3.
The validity criteria and findings are given in the following table:
Parameter Criterion Found Assessment
IVIS of negative control HBSS ≤ 3 1 .52 ok
IVIS of positive control 20% imidazole solution 70.37 – 159.05 88.32 ok
Values for negative and positive controls were within the range of historical data of the test facility. Therefore, the test system was acceptable.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: Yes
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: Yes
Applicant's summary and conclusion

- Executive summary:
This in vitro study was performed to assess corneal damage potential ofBasic Orange 22 by quantitative measurements of changes in opacity and permeability in a bovine cornea following OECD Guideline 437 and EU Method B.47.
Bovine corneas were used. They were collected from slaughtered cattle which were between 12 and 60 months old.
The test itemBasic Orange 22 in its powdered form (ca 240 to 262 mg/cornea) was evenly distributed onto the cornea of a bovine eye which had been incubated with cMEM without phenol red at 32 ± 1 °C for 1 hour and whose opacity had been measured.
The test item was incubated on the cornea for 4 hours at 32 ± 1 °C. After removal of the test item, opacity and permeability values were measured. The mean opacity detected with an opacitometer at the end of the test item exposure period was 31.19. After the determination of opacity, the epithelial surface was treated with sodium fluorescein solution for 90 minutes, to investigate alteration in cornea permeability. The calculated mean permeability OD492value of the corneas treated with the test item was 0.1057.
HBSS was used as negative control. The negative control showed no irritating effect on the cornea and the calculated IVIS (In Vitro Irritancy Score) is 1.52.
20% imidazole solution was used as positive control. The positive control induced serious eye damage on the cornea and was within two standard deviations of the current historical mean. The calculated IVIS (In Vitro Irritancy Score) is 88.32.
Under the conditions of this study, the test item Basic Orange 22 showed effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS (In Vitro Irritancy Score) is 32.77.
According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Jul. 2013), a substance with an IVIS > 3 and ≤ 55 induces effects on the cornea, that cannot be classified in an UN GHS Category for eye damage with the BCOP test only.
