- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- SOURCE OF COLLECTED EYES
- Source: Local abattoir as a by-product from freshly slaughtered animals.
- Characteristics of donor animals: Adult cattle, typically 12 to 60 months old
- Storage, temperature and transport conditions of ocular tissue: Eyes were excised after slaughter and were transported on the same day (of slaughter) over ice packs in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) supplemented with antibiotics.

- valid
- Positive controls validity:

- Remarks on result:
- not determinable
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- - Acceptance criteria:
OECD 437: "A test is considered acceptable if the positive control gives an IVIS that falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean, which is to be updated at least every three months, or each time an acceptable test is conducted in laboratories where tests are conducted infrequently (i.e., less than once a month). The negative or solvent/vehicle control responses should result in opacity and permeability values that are less than the established upper limits for background opacity and permeability values for bovine corneas treated with the respective negative or solvent/vehicle control. A single testing run composed of at least three corneas should be sufficient for a test chemical when the resulting classification is unequivocal."
- positive control criterion: Imidazole 20% (w/v) was used for positive control purposes. The test was acceptable if the positive control produced an in vitro Irritancy Score which fell within two SD of the historical mean during 2015 for this testing facility. Therefore the in vitro Irritancy score should fall within the range of 50.8 to 100.4.
- negative control criterion: Sodium chloride 0.9% (w/v) was used for negative control purposes. The test was acceptable if the negative control produced an in vitro Irritancy Score which is less than or equal to the upper limit for background opacity and permeability values during 2015 for bovine corneas treated with the respective negative control. When testing solids the negative control for opacity should be ≤ 5.4 and for permeability ≤ 0.070.
IVIS Classification
≤ 3 No Category. Not requiring classification to UN GHS or to EU CLP
> 3; ≤ 55 No prediction on eye irritation can be made.
> 55 Category 1. UN GHS or EU CLP Causes serious eye damage.

IVIS Scores
Treatment IVIS Score
Test Item 14.6
Negative Control 1.1 The negative control gave opacity of ≤ 5.4 and permeabilty of ≤0.070, therefore acceptance criteria were satisfied.
Positive Control 93.1 The positive control IVIS was within the range of 50.8 to 100.4, therefore the acceptance criteria were satisfied.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- No prediction on eye irritation can be made
- Executive summary:
The Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeabilty (BCOP) test was conducted using undissolved test item in accordance with OECD Guideline 437. Test item was suspended in sodium chloride (20 % w/v) and 0.75 mL applied evenly to the surface of three corneas, the test time was 240 minutes . A negative and positive control group, each containing 3 corneas, were also prepared. Measurements for corneal opacity and corneal permeability were made. Corneal opacity and corneal permeability media solutions were analysed by a spectrophotometer at 490 nanometers (OD490). The test item did not interfere with result interpretation.
The resulting in an In Vitro Irritation Score (IVIS) of ~14. It was concluded that under the condition of this study the test item no prediction could be made in respect of its potential to cause eye irritation, but the test item does not cause eye damage/corrosion.
