Any other information on results incl. tables
The administration of up to 1600 mg/kg (body weight)of the
test material to pregnant hamsters for 5 consecutive days
had no clearly discernible effect on nidation or on maternal
or fetal survival. The number of abnormalities seen in either
soft or skeletal tissues of the test groups did not differ from
the number occuring spontaneously in the sham- treated controls.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
