Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

Maternal developmental toxicity

Details on maternal toxic effects:
Maternal toxic effects:no effects

Details on maternal toxic effects:
Daily application of test material to the skin of pregnant rats during gestation produced dermal irritation at the application sites at all dose levels. The irritation ranged from slight to moderate. Maternal parameters (food consumption, body weight gain, serum chemistry) were monitored throughout gestation and showed no adverse trends. No adverse effects were observed on reproductive parameters (number of implants, resorptions, or viable fetuses)

Effect levels (maternal animals)

Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:
500 mg/kg bw/day
Basis for effect level:
other: maternal toxicity

Results (fetuses)

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:no effects

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
No adverse effects were observed on fetal parameters (body weight or crown:rump length). No evidence of teratogenicity was observed in fetuses from pregnant dams exposed to the test material. It was concluded that dermal administration of light catalytically cracked naphtha does not adversely affect parameters of reproductive performance during gestation, nor does it adversely affect in utero survival and development of concepti.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the study results, the maternal NOAEL and the teratogenicity NOAEL were greater than 500mg/kg. These findings do not warrant the classification of light catalytically cracked naphtha as a developmental hazard under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

Light catalytically cracked naphtha was administered once daily to pregnant rats on gestation days 0-19 via dermal application at doses of 30, 125, and 500 mg/kg to assess for developmental toxicity. Maternal parameters (food consumption, body weight gain, serum chemistry) were monitored throughout gestation and were not adversely affected by treatment. No adverse effects were observed on eproductive parameters (number of implants, resporptions, or viable fetuses) or on fetal parameters (body weight or crown:rump length). No evidence of teratogenicity was observed in fetues from pregant dams exposed to the test material. Based on the study results, the maternal NOAEL and the teratogenicity NOAEL were greater than 500mg/kg. These findings do not warrant the classification of light catalytically cracked naphtha as a developmental hazard under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
