Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
In a GLP-compliant reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test, performed according to OECD Guideline 421 no effects were seen up to the highest dose tested (121 mg/kg bw) resulting in the NOAEL.
Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test, performed according to OECD Guideline 421, 12

Wistar rats/sex/dose received Nebulone in the diet at concentrations of 0, 15, 50 and 150 mg/kg bw (0, 225, 750 or 1875 mg/kg diet) during a premating period of 2 weeks and during mating (1 week), gestation and lactation until postnatal day 4. Nebulone was h omogeneously distributed in the diets. Feed with Nebulone was freshly prepared every day because in the dose range finding it was shown not to be stable in open container for 4 days. The concentration of Nebulone was close to the intended’ in all diets. No treatment related findings were seen in the dams up to the highest dose considering appearance, general condition or behaviour. No treatment-related effects were observed in mean body weight, body weight changes and food consumption throughout the study. No effects were observed on litter size, pup sex and weight and pup survival. No treatment-related effects of toxicological relevance were observed on macroscopic and microscopic examination. Therefore in dams the highest dose of at least 121 mg/kg bw/day (based on actual intake during gestation and lactation) was a No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level (NOAEL) for systemic and development toxicity.
