Conclusions:
The No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) in an oral screening study for reproductive toxicity was at 1000 mg/kg bw/day in rats.
Executive summary:

In a combined repeated dose toxicity study with reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test in rats via the oral route, conducted according to current OECD guideline 422 and in compliance with GLP, no changes attributable to treatment were noted for the examined reproductive toxicity parameters at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. There was no effect of treatment on estrous cycle during the pre-pairing phase of the study or at termination. Mating performance as assessed by the number of paired animals that mated was unaffected. There was no effect on fertility, as assessed by the number of females that achieved pregnancy. The intergroup distribution of gestation length observed during the study did not indicate any obvious effect of treatment. The NOEL was 1000 mg/kg bw/day.

Effect on fertility: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
1 000 mg/kg bw/day
Study duration:

Effect on fertility: via inhalation route

Effect on fertility: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information

A higher-tier fertility study (two-generation study) is not required at this tonnage band, since there were no adverse effects observed in the repeated dose toxicity study in reproductive organs or tissues or any adverse effects in the screening study for reproductive/developmental toxicity (OECD 422).

Executive summary:

In a combined repeated dose toxicity study with reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test in rats via the oral route, conducted according to current OECD guideline 422 and in compliance with GLP, no changes attributable to treatment were noted in offspring. There was no effect of maternal treatment on the number of implantations, post-implantation loss and live birth index, sex ratio, and subsequent offspring survival to day 13 of age at dosages of 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. There was also no effect of treatment with the test substance on offspring growth and development, indicated by clinical signs, offspring body weight or body weight gain, visible nipple count in male offspring on day 13 post partum, or ano-genital distance at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. The NOEL was 1000 mg/kg bw/day.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, the test substance does not require classification for reproductive or developmental toxicity according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
