Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- chicken
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- SOURCE OF COLLECTED EYES
- Source: chicken heads obtained from Etablissement Brun (address: 33820 Etauliers, France)
- Number of animals: multiple
- Characteristics of donor animals (e.g. age, sex, weight): approximately 7 weeks old, 1.5-2.5 kg
- Storage, temperature and transport conditions of ocular tissue (e.g. transport time, transport media and temperature, and other conditions): Heads have been removed immediately after sedation of the chickens by electric shock, and incision of the neck for bleeding. Because eyes were dissected in the laboratory, the intact heads were transported from the slaughterhouse at ambient temperature in plastic boxes humidified with towels moistened with physiological saline.
- Time interval prior to initiating testing: The heads have been collected on 16 August 2021 at 8:11 am. The eyes were enucleated at Laboratoire ICARE –Site de Martillac on 16 August 2021 at 9:36 am.
- Selection and preparation of corneas: Once removed from the orbit, the eye was placed on an absorbent pad and the nictitating membrane and other connective tissue were cut away. The enucleated eye was mounted in a stainless-steel clamp with the cornea positioned vertically. The clamp was then transferred to a chamber of the superfusion apparatus. The clamps were positioned in the superfusion apparatus such that the entire cornea was supplied with the physiological saline drip (in the range 0.1 to 0.15 mL/min). The chambers of the superfusion apparatus was temperature controlled between 31.6°C and 31.8°C.
- Quality check of the isolated corneas: After being placed in the superfusion apparatus, the eyes were examined with a slit-lamp microscope to ensure that they have not been damaged during the dissection procedure. Corneal thickness was also measured at this time at the corneal apex using the depth measuring device on the slit-lamp microscope. Eyes with; (i), a fluorescein retention score of > 0.5; (ii) corneal opacity > 0.5; or, (iii), any additional signs of damage were replaced. For eyes that are not rejected based on any of these criteria, individual eyes with a corneal thickness deviating more than 10% from the mean value for all eyes are to be rejected.

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF ISOLATED EYES
Once removed from the orbit, the eye was placed on an absorbent pad and the nictitating membrane and other connective tissue were cut away.
The enucleated eye was mounted in a stainless-steel clamp with the cornea positioned vertically. The clamp was then transferred to a chamber of the superfusion apparatus. The clamps were positioned in the superfusion apparatus such that the entire cornea was supplied with the physiological saline drip (in the range 0.1 to 0.15 mL/min). The chambers of the superfusion apparatus was temperature controlled between 31.6°C and 31.8°C.
After being placed in the superfusion apparatus, the eyes were examined with a slit-lamp microscope to ensure that they have not been damaged during the dissection procedure. Corneal thickness was also measured at this time at the corneal apex using the depth measuring device on the slit-lamp microscope. Eyes with; (i), a fluorescein retention score of > 0.5; (ii) corneal opacity > 0.5; or, (iii), any additional signs of damage were replaced. For eyes that are not rejected based on any of these criteria, individual eyes with a corneal thickness deviating more than 10% from the mean value for all eyes are to be rejected.
EQUILIBRATION AND BASELINE RECORDINGS
Once all eyes had been examined and approved (see table in appendix 4), the eyes were incubated in the superfusion apparatus between 45 and 65 minutes to equilibrate them to the test system prior to dosing. Following the equilibration period, a zero-reference measurement was recorded for corneal thickness and opacity to serve as a baseline (i.e., time = 0). The fluorescein score determined at dissection was used as the baseline measurement for that endpoint.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Volume and washing procedure after exposure period: After 10 seconds of exposure the surface of the cornea was rinsed with 20 mL physiological saline
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
Haag-Streit BP900 slit-lamp microscope with depth-measuring device no. I. was used for the measurements.
- Corneal opacity: The mean corneal opacity value for all test eyes was calculated for all observation time points. Based on the highest mean score for corneal opacity, as observed at any time point, an overall category score was then given for each test or control item
- Damage to epithelium based on fluorescein retention: The mean fluorescein retention value for all test eyes was calculated for the 30-minute observation time point only, which was used for the overall category score given for each test or control item
- Swelling: measured with optical pachymeter on a slit-lamp microscope; slit-width setting: Slith-width was set at 9½, equalling 0.095 mm. The mean percentage of corneal swelling for all test eyes was calculated for all observation time points. Based on the highest mean score for corneal swelling, as observed at any time point, an overall category score was then given for each test item.
- Macroscopic morphological damage to the surface: include “pitting” of corneal epithelial cells, loosening” of epithelium, “roughening” of the corneal surface and “sticking” of the test item to the cornea. These findings can vary in severity and may occur simultaneously. The classification of these findings is subjective according to the interpretation of the investigator.
- Others (e.g, histopathology):
DECISION CRITERIA: Assessment of the general IN VITRO eye irritancy and regulatory UN GHS
classification according to OECD No. 438 (2018).
VALIDATION CRITERIA: Results from corneal opacity, swelling, and fluorescein retention were evaluated separately to generate an ICE class for each endpoint. The ICE classes for each endpoint were then combined to generate an Irritancy Classification for each test item.
The study is considered valid, if:
-the number of eyes meets the requirement of the relevant OECD guideline,
-the negative control item results No Category,
-the positive control item results Category 1 classification.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: no prediction can be made
- Conclusions:
- In accordance with the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the results obtained under these experimental conditions lead to the category “no prediction can be made”, as defined by the OECD guideline No.438. Therefore, the substance is not predicted as causing serious eye damage (Cat. 1) or as not classified for eye irritation/serious eye damage (No category) with the Isolated Chicken Eye test method.
- Executive summary:
In an isolated chicken eye test, performed according to the 438 OECD Guideline under GLP conditions, test item was tested to evaluate the eye hazard potential of the substance. 30 μL of the test item was applied to the cornea of each of 3 chicken enucleated eyes and after 10 seconds the corneas were rinsed with physiological saline. After the exposure, toxic effects were measured by qualitative assessment of opacity (0.7, ICE class II), fluorescein retention (1.3, ICE class II), and corneal swelling (7% ICE class II). Valid positive (3x ICE class IV) and negative (3x ICE class I) controls were included. According to the overall in vitro irritancy criteria, the ICE classes combined for test item lead to result ‘no prediction can be made'.
