TEST METHOD
The EpiOcular™ tissue consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a stratified squamous epithelium similar to that found in the human cornea. It consists of highly organized basal cells which progressively flatten out as the apical surface of the tissue is approached, analogous to the normal in vivo corneal epithelium. The test consists of a topical exposure of the neat test item to a human reconstructed cornea model followed by a cell viability test. Cell viability is measured by dehydrogenase conversion of MTT, present in cell mitochondria, into a blue formazan salt that is quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues. The percent reduction of cell viability in comparison of untreated negative controls is used to predict eye irritation potential.
ADAPTATION TO CELL CULTURE CONDITIONS
At least 1 hour before dosing, EpiOcular™ tissues were removed from the refrigerator. Under sterile conditions using sterile forceps, the inserts were transferred into cell culture plates containing the pre-warmed assay medium. Additional cell cultures plates containing an adequate volume of medium were prepared as holding plates. The holding plates were pre-warmed in an incubator until use.

- Area of exposure: 0.6 cm²
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The tissues were gently rinsed with PBS to remove any residual test material.
- Time after start of exposure: 3, 30 and 60 min (test substance); 15 and 45 min (positive control); 60 min (negative control)
- Post-treatment incubation period: at least 10 minutes but not longer than 20 minutes
CELL VIABILITY MEASUREMENTS
For determining alterations in cell viability, MTT reduction assays were performed after the incubation period. Therefore, tissues were incubated in 300 µL freshly prepared MTT-reagent for 3 h at 37 ± 1.5 °C and 5 ± 0.5% CO2. After aspiration of the MTT reagent, tissues were rinsed three times with PBS. Extraction of the formazan product was carried out in 2 mL isopropanol for 18.5 h. The optical density was measured at 570 nm wave length in a microplate reader.

In vivo
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The relative absorbance values of the test item, corresponding to the cell viability, did not or did only irrelevantly decrease (94.8%) compared with the result of the negative control, consequently the test item was classified as non irritant.
Due to the lack of cytotoxicity, an ET50 value could not be calculated.

ET50 of the test item = could not be calculated since viability was not reduced below 50%
ET50 of the positive control = 24.2 min
Optical evaluation of the MTT-reducing capacity of the test substance after 1 h incubation with MTT-reagent did not show blue colour.
Both acceptability criteria of the assay were met:
The corrected mean OD values of the two tissues exposed to the negative control were ≥ 0.8 (1.2024 and 1.1175).
The ET50-value of the positive control is determined during the exposure period ≤ 30 min (24.2 min).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the human cornea model test the test substance does not possess any eye irritating potential.
