Consumer Product Testing Company (CPTC) offers a vegan, in-vitro test method to estimate ocular irritation potential. There are no animal tissues or animal by-products used in the method. The assay is InVitro International's Ocular Irritection Assay System. This standardized, quantitative in-vitro test method measures changes of relevant macromolecules to predict the ocular irritancy of chemicals, mixtures and production formulations.

According to CPTC, Ocular Irritection is the only 100% non-animal ocular irritancy test with an OECD adoption (TG496), ensuring credibility. Test results can be generated within one week of receipt of samples. The Ocular Irritection assay is quantitative and highly reproducible, allowing the comparative ranking of samples and formulations with great accuracy, according to CPTC.
