Details on study design:

PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
- each isolated cornea was mounted in a specially designed cornea holder according to the description given in OEDC guideline 437, which consists of anterior and posterior compartments, which interface with the epithelial and endothelial sides of the cornea, respectively. Both compartments of the holder were filled with incubation medium cMEM (MEM, supplemented with sodium bicarbonate, L-glutamine, penicillin/streptomycin and 1 % fetal calf serum).
- for equilibration, the corneae in the holder were incubated in a vertical position for about one hour at 32 ± 1 °C in a water-bath.

QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS
- all eyes were carefully examined macroscopically for defects before removing the cornea. Those presenting defects such as vascularization, pigmentation, opacity and scratches were discarded.
- at the end of the equilibration period of the corneae in the holder, the basal opacity was determined (t0).
- each corneae with a value of the basal opacity > 7 was discarded.

APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
- the anterior compartment received the test item suspension or negative or positive control at a volume of 0.75 mL each on the surface of the corneae.
- corneae were incubated in a horizontal position at 32 ± 1 °C in the water-bath (incubation time: 240 minutes).
- after the incubation time, the test item or control items were rinsed off with saline.
- fresh incubation medium was added into the anterior compartment and opacity was measured (t240).
- permeability of the corneae was determined.

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: the opacitometer (OP_KiT opacitometer (Electro Design)) was calibrated and the opacity of each of the corneae was determined by reading each holder placed in the photoreceptor compartment for treated cornea.
Evaluation of opacity:
- the change of opacity value of each treated cornea or positive and negative control corneae is calculated by subtracting the initial basal opacity from the post treatment opacity reading (t240 – t0), for each individual cornea.
- the average change in opacity of the negative control corneae is calculated and this value is subtracted from the change in opacity of each treated cornea or positive control to obtain a corrected opacity.

- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of microplate reader (Versamax® Molecular Devices)(OD490).
- after the final opacity measurement was performed, the incubation medium was removed from the anterior compartment and replaced by 0.5% (w/v) sodium fluorescein solution in HBSS.
- corneae were incubated in a horizontal position for 90 ± 5 minutes in a water-bath at 32 ± 1 °C.
- incubation medium from the posterior compartment was removed, mixed and the optical density at 490 nm was determined with a microplate reader.
Evaluation permeability:
- the corrected OD490 value of each cornea treated with positive control or test item is calculated by subtracting the average negative control cornea value from the original permeability value for each cornea.

SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
The following formula is used to determine the IVIS of the negative control:
IVIS = opacity value + (15 x OD490 value)
The following formula is used to determine the IVIS of the positive control and the test item:
IVIS = (opacity value – corrected opacity value mean negative control) + (15 x corrected OD490 value)
The mean IVIS value of each treated group is calculated from the IVIS values.
Depending on the IVIS score obtained, the test item is classified into the following category according to OECD guideline 437 (please refer to table 1 in the field "Any other information on material and methods incl. tables" below).

DECISION CRITERIA:
The test will be acceptable if:
- the positive control gives an IVIS that falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean (updated every three months), and if
- the negative control responses result in opacity and permeability values that are less than the established upper limits for background opacity and permeability values for bovine corneae treated with the respective negative control.

Positive controls validity:

Other effects / acceptance of results:

- for the negative control (saline) an increase of neither opacity nor permeability of the corneae could be observed (mean IVIS = 1.31).
- the positive control (10% (w/v) Benzalkonium chloride in saline) showed clear opacity and distinctive permeability of the corneae (mean IVIS =122.90) corresponding to a classification as serious eye damaging (CLP/EPA/GHS (Cat 1)).

Conclusions:

Relative to the negative control, the test item did not cause an increase of the corneal opacity or permeability. The calculated mean in vitro irritancy score was 0.28. According to OECD 437 and in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and subsequent regulations the test item is not categorized (GHS).
