- Endpoint:
- extended one-generation reproductive toxicity - basic test design (Cohorts 1A, and 1B without extension)
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because (i) the substance is of low toxicological activity (no evidence of toxicity seen in any of the tests available), (ii) it can be proven from toxicokinetic data that no systemic absorption occurs via relevant routes of exposure (e.g. plasma/blood concentrations below detection limit using a sensitive method and absence of the substance and of metabolites of the substance in urine, bile or exhaled air) and (iii) there is no or no significant human exposure
- Justification for type of information:
- In accordance with the Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance (Version 4.0), the study does not need to be performed as no statically significant effects on reproductive organs and tissues nor concerns in relation with reproductive toxicity were identified on the substance and its analogues during the repeated dose toxicity studies nor the prenatal developmental toxicity studies. Moreover, in accordance with Annex IX of REACH, Column 2, taking into account the toxicokinetics profile of the substance, the systemic absorption following exposure by oral route is considered to be inconsequential.
- Reproductive effects observed:
- not specified
Reference
Effect on fertility: via oral route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
In accordance with the Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance (Version 4.0), the study does not need to be performed as no statically significant effects on reproductive organs and tissues nor concerns in relation with reproductive toxicity were identified on the substance and its analogues during the repeated dose toxicity studies nor the prenatal developmental toxicity studies.
Moreover, in accordance with Annex IX of REACH, Column 2, taking into account the toxicokinetics profile of the substance, the systemic absorption following exposure by oral route is considered to be inconsequential.
Justification for selection of Effect on fertility via oral route:
In accordance with the Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance (Version 4.0), the study does not need to be performed as no statically significant effects on reproductive organs and tissues nor concerns in relation with reproductive toxicity were identified on the substance and its analogues during the repeated dose toxicity studies nor the prenatal developmental toxicity studies.
Moreover, in accordance with Annex IX of REACH, Column 2, taking into account the toxicokinetics profile of the substance, the systemic absorption following exposure by oral route is considered to be inconsequential.
Effects on developmental toxicity
Description of key information
The developmental toxicity/teratogenicity study by oral route was conducted on a read-across substance according to a method similar to OECD Testing Guideline 414 on four different species. The administration of up to 1600 mg/kg (body weight) of the test material to pregnant rabbits for 13 consecutive days, to pregnant rats for 10 consecutive days, to pregnant hamsters for 5 consecutive days, and to pregnant mice for 10 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 occurring spontaneously in the sham-treated controls. The NOAEL (maternal toxicity) and NOAEL (teratogenicity) are above 1600 mg/kg, which is the highest concentration evaluated during these studies. The test item did not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.

- Executive summary:
The prenatal developmental toxicity of the read-across substance sodium silicoaluminate branded as FDA 71-45 was determined according to a method similar to the OECD Guideline for Testing of chemicals 414. The teratogenicity of the substance dispersed in water was studied in rabbits during days 6 to 18 of pregnancy. Body weights were recorded on Days 0, 6, 12, 18, and 29 of gestation. All animals were observed daily for appearance and behavior with particular attention to food consumption and weight, in order to rule out any abnormalities which may have occurred as a result of anorexic effects in the pregnant female animals.
On Day 29 all dams were subjected to Caesarean section under surgical anesthesia, and the numbers of corpora lutea, implantation sites, resorption sites and live and dead fetuses were recorded. Body weights of the live pups were also recorded. The urogenital tract of each animal was examined in detail for normality. In addition all fetuses underwent a detailed gross examination for the presence of external congenital abnormalities. The live fetuses of each litter were then placed in an incubator for 24 hours for the evaluation of neonatal survival. All surviving pups were sacrificed, and all pups examined for visceral abnormalities (by dissection). All fetuses were then cleared in potassium hydroxide (KOH), stained with alizarin red S dye and examined for skeletal defects.
The administration of up to 1600.0 mg/kg (body weight) of the test material to pregnant rabbits for 13 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 occurring spontaneously in the sham-treated controls.
The NOAEL (maternal toxicity) and NOAEL (teratogenicity) are above 1600 mg/kg, which is the highest concentration evaluation during this study.

On Day 20 all dams were subjected to Caesarean section under surgical anesthesia, and the numbers of implantation sites, resorption sites, and live and dead fetuses were recorded. The body weight of the live pups were also recorded. The arogenital tract of each dam was examined in detail for anatomical normality. All fetuses were examined grossly for the presence of external congenital abnormalities. One-third of the fetuses of each litter underwent detailed visceral examinations employing 10x magnification. The remaining two-thirds were cleared in potassium hydroxide (KOH), stained with alizarin red S dye and examined for skeletal defects.
The administration of up to 1600 mg/kg (body weight) of the test material to pregnant rats for 10 consecutive days had no clearly discernible effect on nidation or on maternal or fetal survival.

The teratogenicity of the substance dispersed in water was studied in mice during days 6 to 15 of pregnancy. Body weights were recorded on Days 0, 6, 11, 15, and 17 of gestation. All animals were observed daily for appearance and behavior with particular attention to food consumption and weight, in order to rule out any abnormalities which may have occurred as a result of anorexic effects in the pregnant female animals.
On Day 17 all dams were subjected to Caesarean section under surgical anesthesia, and the numbers of implantation sites, resorption sites, and live ·and dead fetuses were recorded. The body weights of the live pups were also recorded. The urogenital tract of each dam was examined in detail for anatomical normality. All fetuses were examined grossly for the presence of external congenital abnormalities. One-third of the fetuses of each litter underwent detailed visceral examinations employing 10x magnification. The remaining two-thirds were cleared in potassium hydroxide (KOB), stained with alizarin red S dye and examined for skeletal defects.
The administration of up to 1600 mg/kg (body weight) of the test material to pregnant mice for 10 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 occurring spontaneously in the sham-treated controls.
The NOAEL (maternal toxicity) and NOAEL (teratogenicity) are above 1600 mg/kg, which is the highest concentration evaluation during this study.

Additional information
The prenatal developmental toxicity of the read-across substance sodium silicoaluminate branded as FDA 71-45 was determined according to a method similar to the OECD Guideline for Testing of chemicals 414. The teratogenicity of the substance dispersed in water was studied in rabbits during days 6 to 18 of pregnancy, in rats during days 6 to 15 of pregnancy, in hamsters during days 6 to 10 of pregnancy, and in mice during days 6 to 15 of pregnancy. Body weights were recorded on a regular basis during gestation. All animals were observed daily for appearance and behavior with particular attention to food consumption and weight, in order to rule out any abnormalities which may have occurred as a result of anorexic effects in the pregnant female animals.
All dams were subjected to Caesarean section under surgical anesthesia, and the numbers of implantation sites, resorption sites and live and dead fetuses were recorded, along with the number of corpora lutea for rabbits. Body weights of the live pups were also recorded. The urogenital tract of each animal was examined in detail for normality. In addition all fetuses underwent a gross examination for the presence of external congenital abnormalities. All surviving pups were sacrificed. All rabbit pups were examined for visceral abnormalities (by dissection) then cleared in potassium hydroxide (KOH), stained with alizarin red S dye and examined for skeletal defects. One-third of the fetuses of each rat, mouse, and hamster litter underwent detailed visceral examinations employing 10x magnification; the remaining two-thirds were cleared in potassium hydroxide (KOH), stained with alizarin red S dye and examined for skeletal defects.
The administration of up to 1600 mg/kg (body weight) of the test material to pregnant rabbits for 13 consecutive days, to pregnant rats for 10 consecutive days, to pregnant hamsters for 5 consecutive days, and to pregnant mice for 10 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 occurring spontaneously in the sham-treated controls.
The NOAEL (maternal toxicity) and NOAEL (teratogenicity) are above 1600 mg/kg, which is the highest concentration evaluated during these studies. The test item did not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
Justification for selection of Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route:
The study was performed on a read-across substance according to a method similar to OECD Testing Guideline 414 on rabbits, which is the recommended non-rodent species for this study.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The NOAEL (maternal toxicity) and NOAEL (teratogenicity) of the read-across substance are above 1600 mg/kg, which is the highest concentration evaluated during the developmental toxicity / teratogenicity studies. In accordance with the Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance (Version 4.0), it was not considered scientifically justified to evaluate the effects of the registered substance on fertility.
The test item did not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
