Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Effects on fertility

Effect on fertility: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
600 mg/kg bw/day
Additional information

A study was performed to screen for potential adverse effects of the test item on reproduction including offspring development and provides an initial hazard assessment for effect on reproduction. The study is compatible with the requirements of the recommendations of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 421. The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for adult toxicity, reproduction and offspring survival, growth and development was considered to be 600 mg/kg bw/day.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information
The results of a screening study on testes toxicity on the structural analogue Pyranol are provided as part of a weight of evidence.  At 1000 mg/kg body weight/day salivation after treatment was observed in all animals. Neither sperm evaluation nor gross and histopathology of male sexual organs revealed treatment-related findings. Pyranol caused slight systemic toxicity but no treatment-related adverse effects regarding the male reproductive organs were observed.

Endpoint conclusion:

Additional information

The results of a screening study on testes toxicity on the structural analogue Pyranol are provided as part of a weight of evidence. At 1000 mg/kg body weight/day salivation after treatment was observed in all animals. Neither sperm evaluation nor gross and histopathology of male sexual organs revealed treatment-related findings. Pyranol caused slight systemic toxicity but no treatment-related adverse effects regarding the male reproductive organs were observed.

To address toxicological endpoints as part of the REACH registration of Cineole (Target Substance) it is proposed to read-across to Pyranol (Source Substance).

The use of read-across works within the spirit of REACH and the stated aim of the legislation to reduce animal testing where possible.

The Target Substance and Source Substance have been characterised in using the categories and databases present in the OECD (Q)SAR Toolbox. From the profiling in this table, it can be seen that the two substances share structural similarities and also "mechanistic action" similarities which are both general and endpoint specific.

Therefore read-across is justified.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, no classification is warranted.
