- TEST SYSTEM
Source OF fresh bovine corneae are animals is cattle (species Bos primigenius Taurus).
Fresh bovine eyes were obtained from the slaughterhouse Müller Fleisch GmbH, Enzstr. 2-4, 75217 Birkenfeld, Germany, on the day of the test. The cattle were between 12 and 60 months old. The eyes were transported within 1 hour to the test facility in Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution with 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin solution (Penicillin 100 U/mL, Streptomycin 100 µg/mL) in a cooled container. Then, the corneae were dissected and incubated in medium at 32 ± 1 °C in an incubation chamber for 1 h.
PREPARATION
Clean and sterile cornea holders were kept in the in-cubation chamber at 32 ± 1 °C.
On the day of the assay, the MEM without phenol red was supplemented with sodium bi-carbonate, L-glutamine and 1% fetal calf serum (= complete MEM) and stored in a water bath at 32 ± 1 °C. The same was performed with the MEM with phenol red, but without addition of sodium bicarbonate.
After the arrival of the corneae, they were examined and only corneas which were free from damages were used. The corneae were excised with a scalpel and cut from the globe with a 2-3 mm ring of sclera around the outside. Each cornea was transferred to a cornea holder in which pre-warmed cMEM (32 ± 1 °C) without phenol red was filled. The holders were then incubated for 1 hour in the incubation chamber at 32 ± 1 °C.
After the initial incubation, the medium was changed and the baseline opacity for each cornea was recorded. None of the corneae showed tissue damage; therefore, all corneae were used. For each treatment group (negative control solution, test item and positive con-trol solution), three replicates were used. After removal of the pre-incubation medium (cMEM without phenol red), 750 µL negative control solution, positive control solution and a defined amount of test item were applied to each replicate.

- Details on study design:
- REMOVAL OF TEST ITEM
After thorough rinsing with cMEM with phenol red and final rinsing with cMEM without phenol red, both chambers were filled with cMEM without phenol red, and the final opacity value of each cornea was recorded.
The cMEM without phenol red was then removed from the front chamber, and 1 mL so-dium fluorescein solution (concentration: 5 mg/mL) was added to the front chamber.
The chambers were then closed again and incubated for 90 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. After incubation, the content of the posterior chamber was thoroughly mixed. Then, the perme-ability of the cornea was measured as optical density of the liquid with a spectrophotome-ter at 492 nm.
SCORING SYSTEM
The IVIS of each replicate of the negative control was calculated from the following equation:
IVIS = opacity difference (opacity of treated corneae - opacity of negative control) + (15 x corrected OD492 value)
SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT
Opacitometer BASF OP 3.0 (BASF)
Cornea holders (Duratec Analysentechnik GmbH)
VALIDITY
According to the OECD guideline 437 (26 July 2013), the test is considered as valid if the positive control causes an IVIS that falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean.
The negative control has to show an IVIS ≤ 3.

- The mean opacity difference of the negative control was 0.35.
- For the blank, the mean optical density at 492 nm was 0.038.
- The values for Permeability at 492 nm were all corrected by subtracting the mean blank value.
- For the negative control, the mean Permeability at 492 nm was 0.0138.
- For the positive control, the all values for the Permeability at 492 nm were obtained by measurement of a fivefold diluted solution and multiplication of the absorbances with factor 5.
- The high relative standard deviation of the IVIS of test item is due to mathematical reasons, as the respective means are very small.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test, the test item N,N’-[(methylimino)bis-(trimethylene)]bis-(stearamide) has an IVIS of 0.7.
This result lies within the range of IVIS ≤ 3 and, according to OECD Guideline 437 (26 July 2013), this substance requires no classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage. - Executive summary:
An in-vitro eye irritation study in accordance with OECD Guideline 437, with N,N’-[(methylimino)bis-(trimethylene)]bis-(stearamide) was performed using the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test Method for Identifying Ocular corrosives and Severe Irritants.
Bovine corneas, collected from slaughtered cattle which were between 12 and 60 months old, were used for the test.
The test item N,N'-[(methylimino)bis(trimethylene)]bis(stearamide) was tested pure. It was pestled and brought onto the cornea of a bovine eye, which had been incubated with cMEM without phenol red at 32 ± 1 °C for 1 hour and whose opacity had been measured. The test item was incubated on the cornea for4 hours at 32 ± 1 °C. After removal of the test item opacity and permeability values were measured.
HBSS-solution was used as negative control. The negative control showed no irritating effect on the cornea and the calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is 0.55.
20% imidazole solution was used as positive control. The positive control induced serious eye damage on the cornea and falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean.
The calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is 108.80.
Under the conditions of this study, the test item N,N'-[(methylimino)bis(trimethylene)]bis(stearamide) showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is 0.70.
Since the IVIS of N,N’-[(methylimino)bis-(trimethylene)]bis-(stearamide) has a value of ≤ 3, according to OECD Guideline 437 (26 July 2013), this substance requires no classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage.
