- - Justification of the test method and considerations regarding applicability: The EpiOcular™ Eye Irritation Test (EIT) was validated by the European Union Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to A
nimal Testing (EURL ECVAM) and Cosmetics Europe between 2008 and 2013. This test guideline is applicable to solids, liquids, semi-solids and waxes, so is considered to be applicable to the test item.
- Description of the cell system used:
CELL CULTURE:
- Source: EpiOcular™ kits and MTT-100 kits are purchased from MatTek Corporation (Ashland, MA01721, USA).
- Lot No.: 21572
- 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 EpiOcular™ tissues (surface 0.6 cm²) were cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts (MILLICELL, 10 mm ∅).
- Transport: EpiOcular™ tissues were shipped at 2 - 8 °C on medium-supplemented agarose gels in a 24-well plate.
- Storage: The day after receipt of the EpiOcular™ tissues, the equilibration step (15 minutes at room temperature in the 24-well shipping container) started. An appropriate volume of EpiOcular™ Assay Medium was warmed to approximately 37 °C. 1.0 mL of the medium was aliquoted into the appropriate wells of pre-labelled 6-well plates.
Each 24-well shipping container was removed from its plastic bag under sterile conditions and its surface disinfected by wiping with 70% isopropanol- or ethanol-soaked tissue paper. The sterile gauze was removed and each tissue was inspected for air bubbles between the agarose gel and insert. Cultures with air bubbles under the insert covering greater than 50% of the insert area were not used. The tissues were carefully removed from the 24-well shipping containers using sterile forceps. Any agarose adhering to the inserts was removed by gentle blotting on sterile filter paper or gauze. The insert was then transferred aseptically into the 6-well plates and pre-incubated at standard culture conditions for one hour in the Assay Medium. After one hour, the Assay Medium was replaced by 1 mL of fresh Assay Medium at 37 °C and the EpiOcular™ tissues was incubated at standard culture conditions overnight (18 hours).

- Wavelength used for quantifying MTT formazan: 570 nm
- Description of the method used to quantify MTT formazan
At the end of the post-treatment incubation, each insert was removed from the 6-well plate and gently blotted on absorbent material. The tissues were placed into the 24-well plate containing 0.3 ml of MTT solution. Once all the tissues are placed into the 24-well plate, the plate was incubated for 180 minutes at standard culture conditions and rinsed 3 times with DPBS afterwards.
Each insert was removed from the 24-well plate after 180 minutes, the bottom of the insert was blotted on absorbent material, and then transferred to a pre-labeled 24-well plate containing 2.0 mL of isopropanol in each designated well so that isopropanol was flowing into the insert on the tissue surface. The plates were sealed with a standard plate sealer, and were stored overnight at 2-8 °C in the dark. To extract the MTT, the plates were placed on an orbital plate shaker and shaken for 2 to 3 hours at room temperature. At the end of the extraction period, the tissue was pierced and the liquid within each insert was decanted into the well from which it was taken.
The extract solution was mixed and two 200 μL aliquots were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labelled 96-well plate. The OD was determined in a microplate reader (Versamax®, Molecular Devices, SoftMax Pro Enterprise (version 4.7.1)) at 570 nm (OD570). No reference wavelength measurement was used.
- Description of evaluation criteria used including the justification for the selection of the cut-off point for the prediction model
The results are acceptable according to OECD TG 492, if:
1) The negative control OD is > 0.8 and < 2.5,
2) The mean relative viability of the positive control is below 60% of the negative control viability.
3) The difference of viability between the two relating tissues of a single test item is < 20% in the same run (for positive and negative control tissues and tissues of test items). This applies also to the killed controls (items and negative killed control) and the colorant controls which are calculated as percent values related to the viability of the relating negative control.
If the test item-treated tissue viability is > 60% relative to the negative control treated tissue viability, the test item is labelled non-irritant.
If the test item-treated tissue viability is ≤ 60% relative to negative control treated tissue viability, the test item is labelled irritant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- With a percentage of tissue viability > 60%, the test item does not require classification and labelling according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the eye irritation potential of the test item by means of the Human Cornea Model Test. The study was conducted according to the OECD guideline No. 492 and in compliance with GLP.
The test item did not prove to be an MTT reducer in the MTT pre-test. Also its intrinsic colour was not intensive and it did not prove to dye water or isopropanol in the colour interference pre-test. Therefore, additional tests with freeze-killed or viable tissues did not have to be performed.
Each 50 µL of the test item, the negative control (deionised water) or the positive control (methyl acetate) were applied to each of duplicate tissue.
After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values were well within the required acceptability criterion:
• mean OD > 1.0 and < 2.6 (MatTek criterion)
• mean OD > 0.8 and < 2.5 (OECD criterion)
thus showing the quality of the tissues.
Treatment with the positive control induced a decrease below 60% compared with the negative control value in the relative absorbance thus ensuring the validity of the test system.
The difference of viability between the two relating tissues of a single test item was < 20% in the same run (for positive and negative control tissues and tissues of single test items).
Irritating effects were not observed following incubation with the test item. Compared with the value of the negative control the relative mean absorption value corresponding to the viability of the tissues did not decrease below 60% (93.4%).
In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item does not possess any eye irritating potential.
With a percentage of tissue viability > 60%, the test item does not require classification and labelling according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
