Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
There is no reproductive toxicity study available with the target substance. Data generated with the category substances LABS Na and LAB was considered pivotal to this endpoint. No significant effects on reproduction were observed at the highest concentration LABS Na tested. During the study with LAB, animals were observed for clinical signs, mortality and body weight. Pups were examined for viability and body weight gain. Reproductive indices were also calculated. The NOAEL for parental toxicity was 50 mg/kg/day and the LOAEL was 500 mg/kg/day based on reduced weight gain and litter size in the high dose group. The NOAEL for offspring was 50 mg/kg/day based on reduced body weight gain and survival in the high and mid dose groups. The LOAEL for offspring was 50 mg/kg/day.
