solid

Test animals / tissue source

Species:
other: Bos primigenius Taurus (fresh bovine corneas)
Strain:
not specified

Test system

Vehicle:
Hank's balanced salt solution
Remarks:
Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) was used as negative control
Controls:
yes, concurrent positive control
yes, concurrent negative control
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Exposure time of controls and test item on the corneas was 10 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. After thorough rinsing the anterior chamber with cMEM with phenol red and final rinsing with cMEM without phenol red, the anterior chamber is filled with cMEM without phenol red and the corneaholder are stored for additional 2 hours at 32 ± 1 °C (post-incubation). Then, the final illuminance value of each cornea was recorded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test item CARMINE LAKE showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated mean IVIS was 2.51.
According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Oct. 2017), a substance with an IVIS ≤ 3 re-quires no classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage
