Additional information
Reproductive toxicity (fertility) - Data waiving
According to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex VIII, 8.7.1., column 2, a Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test is not required as a test for prenatal developmental toxicity (Annex IX, 8.7.2) is available for the structural related substance TMP ester of C8/C10 fatty acids (CAS 11138-60-6), which will be used for read-across. On the basis of this dermal prenatal developmental toxicity study performed equivalent or similar to OECD guideline 414 no systemic test item related toxicological findings in dams or fetuses were revealed resulting in a NOAEL (systemic) of 2000 mg/kg bw/day. Necropsy findings on maternal animals were limited to skin flaking and scabbing first identified in life end observations related to wearing the Elizabethan collar (local alopecia, chromorhinorrhea, and neck lesions), thus a local NOAEL (maternal) of 200 mg/kg bw/day was derived. There were no significant differences in any of the developmental parameters examined including embryo/fetal viability, fetal weight, malformations, or variations when compared to the control, thus a NOAEL (developmental) of 2000 mg/kg bw/day was derived.

Quantitative continuous data were analyzed using Barlett´s Test for Homogeneity of Variance and the Analysis of Variance when Barlett´s Test was not significant (p>0.05). If the Analysis of Variance was significant (p>0.05), Dunnett´s Test was used to identify the statistical significance of the individual groups. If the Analysis of Variance was not appropriate, the Kruskal-Wallis Test was used when >75% ties were present. In case of significance (p>0.05), Dunn´s Method of Multiple Comparisons was used for identification of statistical significance of the individual groups.
- Historical control data:
- No details.
One dam having a litter consisting of seven early resorptions was pointed out as single non-dosage dependent event and to be within the ranges observed historically at the test facility. - Details on maternal toxic effects:
- Maternal toxic effects:yes. Remark: local irritation
Details on maternal toxic effects:
The two highest dose levels caused some local irritation at the site of application, but no decreases in maternal weight gain or feed consumption. Two animals in the control group and one animal in the high-dose group died within 6 h after first application; these were not considered to be treatment related and the animals were replaced. One dam of the mid-dose goup (1/25) having a litter consisting of seven early resorptions was pointed out as single non-dosage dependent event and to be within the ranges observed historically at the test facility.
Necropsy findings were limited to skin flaking and scabbing first identified in life and observations related to wearing the Elizabethan collar (local alopecia, chromorhinorrhea, and neck lesions). - Key result

Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Effect on developmental toxicity: via inhalation route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Effect on developmental toxicity: via dermal route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Study duration:
- subacute
- Species:
- rat
- Quality of whole database:
- The available information comprises an adequate, reliable (Klimisch score 2) and consistent study from a reference substance with similar structure and intrinsic properties. Read-across is justified based on common precursors and breakdown products of hydrolysis and consistent trends in environmental fate, ecotoxicological and toxicological profile (refer to the endpoint discussion for further details). The selected study is thus sufficient to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VIII - IX, 8.7, in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
Additional information
Justification for read-across
There is no data available addressing toxicity to reproduction of Fatty acids, C8-10 (even numbered), diesters with neopentyl glycol and di- and triesters with trimethylolpropane (CAS 97281-24-8). In accordance with Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, "information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI are met.” In particular for human toxicity, information shall be generated whenever possible by means other than vertebrate animal tests, which includes the use of information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across).
Having regard to the general rules for the read-across approach laid down in Annex XI, Item 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 whereby substances may be predicted as similar provided that their physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a comparable pattern as a result of structural similarity, the substance TMP ester of C8/C10 fatty acids (CAS 11138-60-6) is selected as source substance.
Developmental toxicity/teratogenicity
CAS 11138-60-6
Fatty acids, 8-10 (even numbered), di- and triesters with propylidynetrimethanol (CAS 11138-60-6) was tested in a prenatal developmental toxicity study comparable to OECD guideline 414 (Azuka and Daston, 2004). The test substance was percutaneously applied to Sprague-Dawley rats for 6 h/day under occlusive conditions. 25 animals per sex per dose were treated with 200, 600 or 2000 mg/kg bw/day in corn oil on Days 6-15 of gestation. Control animals (25 per sex per dose) received the vehicle. The middle and the high dose levels caused some local irritation at the site of application, but no decreases in maternal weight gain or food consumption. There were no differences from control in any of the developmental parameters measured, including embryo/fetal viability, fetal weight, malformations, or variations. Therefore, a NOAEL of 2000 mg/kg bw/day was derived for prenatal development and for systemic maternal toxicity. Due to the irritation effects on skin, the local maternal NOAEL was found to be 200 mg/kg bw/day.
Conclusion for developmental toxicity
The reliable data available for the source substance TMP ester of C8/C10 fatty acids indicate no hazard to development in the prenatal developmental toxicity study performed similar to OECD guideline 414 via the dermal route in rats. Based on the available data, Fatty acids, C8-10 (even numbered), diesters with neopentyl glycol and di- and triesters with trimethylolpropane (CAS 97281-24-8) is not expected to be hazardous for intrauterine development.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint". Since the analogue concept is applied to Fatty acids, C8-10 (even numbered), diesters with neopentyl glycol and di- and triesters with trimethylolpropane (CAS 97281-24-8), data will be generated from data for reference source substance(s) to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the analogue read-across concept is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.
Based on the analogue read-across approach, the available data on toxicity to reproduction, fertility and development/teratogenicity does not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, and is therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
