laboratory
- Time interval prior to initiating testing: corneae were isolated inmediatedly after arrival
of the eyes, corneae were directly used in the BCOP test on the same day

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:

Invitro- Justification of the test method and considerations regarding applicability: The Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) test (OECD TG 437; TM B.47) is an in vitro test for the identification of substances inducing serious eye damage, recommended for use as part of a tiered-testing strategy for regulatory classification and labelling.- Description of the cell system used, incl. certificate of authenticity and the mycoplasma status of the cell live- :isolated corneas obtained as by -product from animals freshly slaughered. The fresh eyes were trasnported in HBSS containing Pen/Stre on ice to the laboratoriy. Inmediadely after arrival of the eyes the conrea preparation was initieated including:examination for defects and any defective eyes were discared.The coreas was excised leaving a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera and stored in a petri dish containig HBSS and posterior mounted on corneal holders . The corneas (which are free of defects were incubated for one hour at 32 °C +-1

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

yes, concurrent positive control

yes, concurrent negative control

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 0.75 mL
- suspended with physiological saline 0.9% NaCl (B. Braun Melsungen lot no. 1406787) to gain a 20% concentration

Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):

After 4 hours +- 5 minutes incubation at 32+-1 °C either test substance and the control substance was removed and the epithelium washed at least three times with MEM (containing phenol red). Once the medium was free of substance, the cormea was finally rinsed with complete RPMI (without phenol red)

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

3 corneas for the test item, 3 corneas as negative controls treated with physiological saline 0.9%NaCL, 3 corneas as positive controls treated with imidazole 20% in physiological saline 0.9% Na Cl

Details on study design:

SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS: yes

QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS: yes

NUMBER OF REPLICATES: 3

NEGATIVE CONTROL USED: yes

POSITIVE CONTROL USED: yes

APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME: 4 hours ± 5 minutes

TREATMENT METHOD: closed chamber

POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: no.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: three times with MEM


METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Opacimeter (BASF-OP3.0, Duratec GmbH)
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of [Jenway 6405 UV/VIS spectrophotometry

SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)

DECISION CRITERIA: yes

Irritation parameter:

in vitro irritation score

Value:

107.01

Negative controls validity:

valid

Positive controls validity:

valid

Other effects / acceptance of results:

The in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control fell within the two standard deviations of the current hystorical mean and therefore the assay is considered to be valid. See other information on results, table 4. The negative control responses result in opacity and permeability values less than the established upper limits of backround bovine cormeas treated with the negative control. All three corneas applicated with the test item showed an all over opacity of the tissue. The mean in vitro irritation score was calculated : 107.01
Visual observation: all 3 corneas treated with Scopolamine showed an allower opacity of the tissue.

Interpretation of results:

Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

All three cormeas applicated with the test item showed an all over opacity of the tissue. The mean in vitro irritation score was calculated to be 107.01. According to the evaluation criteria of the in vitro BCOP test (OECD 437), the test item was classified into UN GHS category 1.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

adverse effect observed (irreversible damage)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to CLP regulation Annex VI column the substance is classified as acute dermal toxic cat. 1 (H310) hence a skin irritation study is not needed.

Based on a available test according to OECD 437 (BCOP) the substance has to be classified as eye irritant cat. 1( H318).
