Details on study design:
Experimental design:
- Both eyes of each rabbit provisionally selected were examined within 24 hours before testing. Three animals without observable eye effects were used.
- One tenth of a millilitre of the undiluted test substance was allowed to fall on the everted lower lid of one eye of each rabbit. After administration the upper and lower eye lid were carefully closed and subsequently held together for about one second before releasing, to prevent loss of material. The other eye remaining untreated, served as a control. The eyes were not washed out following administration and the animals were released immediately.
- Ocular reactions were judged using the scoring scale which is given in an appendix at the end of this report.
- Eye effects were examined after one hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours, or until the eye effects had cleared completely.

Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:

Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The eyes were examined and the grade of ocular reaction was recorded one hour and 24 hours later. After the first 24 hour reading Fluorescein was instilled. After rinsing with 20 ml 0.9% sodium chloride solution the eyes were examined again using UV-light to detect possible corneal damage.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

SCORING SYSTEM: Alll scoring was on a 0 to 4 scale with 0 being no or little effect to 4 being extreme effect.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: The day before testing both eyes of the animals were examined with a hand held inspection lamp fitted with white and UV light and magnifying glass with, 2 x magnification to ensure there were no defects or irritation. The examination was performed before and after instillation of Fluorescein.

The eyes were examined and the grade of ocular reaction was recorded one hour and 24 hours later. After the first 24 hour reading Fluorescein was instilled. After rinsing with 20 ml 0.9% sodium chloride solution the eyes were examined again using UV-light to detect possible corneal damage.

Justification for classification or non-classification

IMB is not classified for skin irritation as no adverse effects were seen in a high quality study. IMB is not classified for eye irritation as both read-across substances, EMB and EMV, returned negative results.
