Description of key information
Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, reproductive toxicity was predicted for geranyl butyrate. The study assumed the use of male and female Sprague Dawley rats. Geranyl butyrate was predicted to not induce reproductive toxicity in male and female rats and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a reproductive toxicant. NOAEL was considered to be 908.333312988 mg/kg bw when Sprague Dawley male and female rats were orally exposed with Geranyl butyrate.
Based on the predicted result it can be concluded that the substance is considered to not toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

- Conclusions:
- Geranyl butyrate was predicted to not induce reproductive toxicity in male and female rats and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a reproductive toxicant. NOAEL was considered to be 908.333312988 mg/kg bw when Sprague Dawley male and female rats were orally exposed with Geranyl butyrate.

Additional information
Toxicity to reproduction:
Prediction model based estimation was used to determine the repoductive toxic nature of Geranyl butyrate. The study is as mentioned below:
Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, reproductive toxicity was predicted for geranyl butyrate. The study assumed the use of male and female Sprague Dawley rats. Geranyl butyrate was predicted to not induce reproductive toxicity in male and female rats and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a reproductive toxicant. NOAEL was considered to be 908.333312988 mg/kg bw when Sprague Dawley male and female rats were orally exposed with Geranyl butyrate.
Based on the predicted result it can be concluded that the substance is considered to not toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the predicted result it can be concluded that the substance Geranyl butyrate (CAS no 106 -29 -6) is considered to not toxic for reproductive toxicity as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
