Constituent 1
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- - No correction factor for purity required.
- Stability at higher temperatures: not stable above 25°C
Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- cattle
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- SOURCE OF COLLECTED EYES
- Source: young cattle, obtained from the slaughterhouse Vitelco, 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands.
- Storage, temperature and transport conditions of ocular tissue: eyes were excised by a slaughterhouse employee as soon as possible after slaughter. Subsequently, eyes were collected an transported in physiological saline in a suitable container under cooled conditions.
- The eyes were checked for unacceptable defects and those exhibiting defects were discarded.
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- yes, concurrent positive control
- yes, concurrent negative control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: excessive amount (on a filter paper, cornea completely covered)
NEGATIVE CONTROL: Physiological saline
- Amount applied: 750 µL
POSITIVE CONTROL: Ethanol
- Amount applied: 750 µL - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 10 ± 1 minutes
- Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
- 120 ±10 minutes in cMEM for opacity measurements and subsequently 90 ±5 minutes in sodium-fluorescein for permeability determinations
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 for the negative control, the positive control and the treatment group each
- Details on study design:
- TREATMENT METHOD: The medium from the anterior compartment was removed and 750 µl of the negative control and positive control were introduced onto the epithelium of the cornea. An excessive amount of the test item (on a filter paper) was applied directly on the corneas in such a way that the cornea was completely covered. Corneas were incubated in a horizontal position for 10 ± 1 minutes at 32 ± 1°C.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: After the incubation the solutions were removed and the epithelium was washed with MEM with phenol red (Earle’s Minimum Essential Medium, Life Technologies) and thereafter with cMEM.
- POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION: 120 ±10 minutes in cMEM for opacity measurements and subsequently 90 ±5 minutes in sodium-fluorescein for permeability determinations
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: opacity meter (OP-KIT)
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of a microtiter plate reader (TECAN Infinite® M200 Pro Plate Reader, OD490). OD490 values of less than 1.500 were used in the permeability calculation.
- Other: possible pH effects of the test substance on the corneas were recorded.
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
DECISION CRITERIA (see table 1):
A test substance that induces an IVIS ≤ 3 is not classified for eye irritancy (UN GHS: no category);
A test substance that induces IVIS >55 is defined as a corrosive or severe irritant (UN GHS: category 1);
For a test substance that induces an IVIS >3 and ≤55, no prediction on irritant potency can be made.
Results and discussion
In vitro
Results
- Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- Mean of 3 replicates
- Value:
- 4.7
- Vehicle controls validity:
- not applicable
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks:
- Mean IVIS: 31
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- - The corneas treated with the test item showed opacity values between 1.9 and 4.7, permeability values were ranging from 0.059 to 0.232 and IVIS were 2.9, 5.4 and 5.8 (n=3).
- Since the mean IVIS was > 3 ≤ 55 (4.7) after 10 minutes of treatment, no prediction can be made for the classification of the test item.
OTHER EFFECTS:
- The corneas were clear with spots after treatment with the test item.
- No pH effect of the test item was observed on the rinsing medium in both experiments.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes, results were within the historical range (IVIS ranging from -1.8 to 1.1)
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes, results were within historical range (IVIS ranging from 23.6 - 39.7). Corneas were turbid after 10 minutes of treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- In the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test (BCOP) performed according to OECD guideline 437 and GLP principles, TOFA TEA salt induced a mean IVIS > 3 ≤ 55 (4.7) after 10 minutes. Based on these results, no prediction on the classification can be made.
