Effects on fertility

Effect on fertility: via oral route
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
40 mg/kg bw/day
Additional information

In an OECD reproduction/developmentaltoxicity screening test(OECD TG 421) in rats DCHA revealed effects on reproduction only in females at the highest oral dose tested (80 mg/kg bw/day) including slightly reduced gestation index, increase in stillborn pups and decrease in live born pups. Thus, the NOAEL (reproductive toxicity) is 80 mg/kg bw/day for males and 40 mg/kg bw/day for females. The NOEL (offspring) is 40 mg/kg bw/day based on significant reduction in pup weights on day 0 and slight reduction in pup weights on dayoffspring of the parents dosed with 80 mg/kg bw/day. These adverse effects on the development of the F1-generation occur only in the presence of severe maternal toxicity (17 % mortality; 1 of 10 surviving dams without live pups; poor maternal behavior and nursing).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the test results and according to the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and mixtures the test substance does not have to be classified for reproductive toxicity.
