- Details on study design:
- TEST SITE:
-Area of exposure:
Triplicate corneas were treated with 0.75 ml of the test material.
-% coverage:
The test material preparation was topically applied to the cornea. The corneal holders were gently tilted back and forth to ensure a uniform application of the material over the entire cornea.
-Type of wrap used:
None used.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE:
-Washing (if done):
At the end of the exposure period the test material preparation was removed from the anterior chamber and the cornea was rinsed three times with fresh complete MEM containing phenol red before a final rinse with complete MEM.
-Time after start of exposure:
240 Minutes post exposure.
SCORING SYSTEM:
Results from the two test method endpoints, opacity and permeability, were combined in an empirically derived formula to generate an In Vitro Irritancy Score.
Opacity Measurement: 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 from each 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.
Permeability Measurement: 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.
The following formula was used to determine the in vitro score:
In Vitro Irritancy Score = mean opacity value + (15 x mean OD492 value)
Data Interpretation:
A test material that induces an in vitro irritancy score >55.1 is defined as an ocular corrosive or severe irritant.
Additionally, the opacity and permeability values were evaluated independently to determine whether the test material induced a response through only one of the two endpoints.
Visual Observation: The condition of the cornea was visually assessed immediately after rinsing and at the final opacity measurement.

Corneal Opacity and Permeability Measurement
Individual and mean corneal opacity measurements and individual and mean corneal permeability measurements are given in Table 1.
Corneal Epithelium Condition
The condition of the cornea immediately after rinsing is given in Table 2.
The corneas treated with the test material or positive control material were cloudy post treatment. The corneas treated with the negative control material were clear post treatment.

Criteria for an Acceptable Test
The positive contro lIn Vitro irritancy Score was within the range of 55.8 to 126.1. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test material was considered to be an ocular corrosive or severe irritant.
Study conducted to GLP and in compliance with agreed protocols, with no or minor deviations from standard test guidelines and/or minor methodological deficiencies, which do no effect the quality of the relevant results.
This study is conducted according to an appropriate guideline and under the conditions of GLP. In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and as detailed in the Guidance on the application of the CLP criteria, a positive BCOP assay is sufficient for the purposes of classification and labelling and as such the study is considered to be acceptable and to adequately satisfy both the guideline requirement and the regulatory requirement as a key study for this endpoint. - Executive summary:
Introduction. A study was performed to assess the ocular irritancy potential of the test material to the isolated bovine cornea.
Method. The test material was applied at a concentration of 20% w/v for 240 minutes. Negative and positive control materials 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 an In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS).
Results. The in vitro Irritancy scores are summarised as follows:
Treatment

Conclusion. The test material was considered to be an ocular corrosive or severe irritant.
