Other effects / acceptance of results:
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: After treatment with the negative control (0.9% sodium chloride solution) the calculated IVIS was 0.1 and, thus, within three standard deviations of the current historical mean of the negative control (IVIS: -1.4 – 3.1).
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: After treatment with the positive control (20% Imidazole) the calculated IVIS was 117.0 and, thus, also within two standard deviations of the current historical mean of the positive control (IVIS: 82.3 – 132.4).

Therefore, the study fulfilled the acceptance criteria.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Results

The IVIS obtained after treatment with the test material was 5.8 and, thus higher than 3 and lower than 55, i.e. according to OECD 437 no prediction can be made regarding the eye hazard potential of the test item.

No observations (e.g. tissue peeling, residual test chemical, non-uniform opacity patterns) were seen in a visually inspection of the corneas after treatment.

Study Acceptance Criteria


After treatment with the negative control (0.9% sodium chloride solution) the calculated IVIS was 0.1 and, thus, within three standard deviations of the current historical mean of the negative control (IVIS: -1.4 – 3.1). After treatment with the positive control (20% Imidazole) the calculated IVIS was 117.0 and, thus, also within two standard deviations of the current historical mean of the positive control (IVIS: 82.3 – 132.4). Therefore, the study fulfilled the acceptance criteria.
The resulting classification of the test item in this study is unequivocal and no borderline results were obtained. Therefore, a single testing run composed of three corneas per group was considered sufficient.


Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present study, the eye hazard potential of the test item cannot be predicted.
Executive summary:

This study was performed according to GLP and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD TG 437. Under the conditions of the present study, the eye hazard potential of the test item cannot be predicted.
