Description of key information
Reproductive toxicity study
Based on the data available from different studies, NOAEL for test chemical was considered to be 500mg/kg bw/day .When female rats were treated with test material orally. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test material is not likely to classify as reproductive toxicant.

- 1&2 Organ weight and gross pathology were examined.
- Postmortem examinations (offspring):
- 1.Examined externally for gross abnormalities, visceral, and skeletal malformations and variations, and crown-rump distance were measured.
2.Every third alive fetus of each litter was preserved and later examined under a dissection microscope for soft tissue anomalies after using free hand razor sectioning technique. The remaining fetuses were fixed and stained for examination for skeletal defects. - Statistics:
- 1.Maternal body weight and body weight change, food consumption, uterine data (i.e., corpora lutea, implants, resorptions), and malformation data were analyzed statistically using Bartlett's test of homogeneity of variance (Snedecor and Cochran, 1967) was used to determine if the groups had equivalent variances at the 1 % level of significance. If the variances were not significantly different, the groups were compared using a standard one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). If significant differences among the means were indicated, Duncan's test (Dunnett, 1964) was performed to determine which treated groups differed from control. Fetal weights and crown-rump lengths were analyzed using individual fetal values by a standard nested analysis of variance, with values nested within dams and dams nested within groups. If differences in groups were indicated, the least-significant difference technique (Snedecor and Cochran, 1967) was used to determine which treated groups differed from control.If the groups did not have equivalent variances at the 1 % level, then a Kruskal-Wallis test (nonparametric) was used to assess differences in group means (Hollander and Wolf, 1973). If the means were different, a rank sum comparison was used to determine which treatment groups differed from control.
2. The differences between exposed groups and control groups with respect to numbers of corpora lutea, implantation sites, alive foetuses per litter, pre implantation loss, postimplantation loss as well as mean foetal weight, maternal body weight, placental weight, water and food consumption, was calculated using Student’s t-test. The number of malformations was analyzed using Chi-square test with Yate’s correction. - Reproductive indices:

- Executive summary:
Data available from different studies were reviewed to determine the reproductive toxicity of test chemical.The studies are as mentioned below:
Study 1.
In a Teratogenicity study, Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with test chemical in the concentration of 0,100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw orally by gavage. 2 female rats were died at 1000 mg/kg bw one each on GDs 10 and 12, respectively and elevated incidences of alopecia, rales, red nasal discharge, and anal-genital staining were observed in treated female rats as compared to control. A statistically significant decreased in mean body weight on on GDs 9, 12, 16, and 20 were observed at 1000 mg/kg bw.The effect was most evident during the first several days of dosing, when these animals actually lost weight (GDs 6-9). Statistically significant decrase in mean body weight and body weight changes were observed at several time points at 500 mg/kg bw as compared with control. These decrease in body weight appeared to occur in an ordered response to dose. Similarly, Dose-related decreases in food consumption for the Day 6-9, 9-12, and 12- 16 intervals were observed at 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw as compared with control. Slight increase in resorptions was observed as compared to control. But, the difference was not statistically significant. In addition, No statistically significant effect were observed on Corpora lutea/dam, Implants/litter, Resorptions/litter and Live fetuses/litter and Uterine weight of treated female rats as compared to control in P generation. In F1 generation,No significant effect was observed on fetal body weight as compared to control.Tail absent were observed in 1000 mg/kg bw and micrognathia in 500 mg/kg bwas compared to control. No significant differences or dose-related change were observed on crown rump distance of fetuses were observed as compared to control.Dilated lateral cerebral ventricles in two fetuses were observed at 1000 mg/kg bw which are anatomical variations previously observed in historical control fetuses. Different types of vertebral malformations were observed in four fetuses (four litters) in the form of incomplete ossification at 1000 mg/kg bw. But, were not statistically significant as compared to control. Therefore,NOAEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg bw for P generation and 1000 mg/kg bw for F1 generation when Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with test chemical orally by gavage for 10 days of gestation.
Study 2.
In a teratogenicity study, female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to test chemical by oral gavage for 10 days, i.e. on gestation day 6 through 15. As seen by the results, the mean maternal body weight gain and food consumption of the treated groups was compared to control group. The placental weights were significantly reduced for treated animals, and no significant differences were found between the control group and the treated groups as regards to corpora lutea and total implantation sites, alive and dead fetuses, resorptions, preimplantation and postimplantation losses, or male/female ratios. Test chemical exposure resulted in significantly increased mean fetal weights as compared to control values in the 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg/day-exposed animals. A slight decrease in the incidence of bipartite centra of the thoracic vertebrae were noted in the 500 mg/kg/day group and a slight increase in the frequency of unossified hyoid cartilage in the 10 and 125 mg/kg/day groups. However, the skeletal alterations observed seemed not to appear in a systematic manner and is thus not considered to be due to test chemical exposure. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg bw/day for the F0 and F1 generation when pregnant female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with test chemical on gestation days 6 though 15.
Based on the data available from different studies test chemical did not showedreproductive toxicityat dose concentration 5000mg/kg bw/day by oral route. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a reproductive toxicant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Additional information
Reproductive toxicity study
Data available from different studies were reviewed to determine the reproductive toxicity of test chemical.The studies are as mentioned below:
Study 1.
In a teratogenicity study, Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with test chemical o fOctyl acetate (Cas 112-14-1)in the concentration of 0,100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg/bw/day orally by gavage. Two female rats died in the 1000 mg/kg one each on GDs 10 and 12, respectively. Also, maternal animals in the high-dose group exhibited elevated incidences of alopecia, rales, red nasal discharge and anal-genital staining. Statistically significant and dose-related decrease in mean body weight, and body weight changes were detected in the 1000 mg/kg groups on GDs 9, 12, 16, and 20 were observed at 1000 mg/kg. The effect was most evident during the first several days of dosing, when these animals actually lost weight (GDs 6-9). Statistically significant decrease in mean body weight and body weight changes were observed at several time points at 500 mg/kg as compared with control. These decrease in body weight appeared to occur in an ordered response to dose. Similarly, dose-related decreases in food consumption on GD 6-9, 9-12, and 12- 16 intervals were observed at 500 and 1000 mg/kg as compared with control. The uterine implantation parameters including corpora lutea/dam, implants/litter, resorptions/litter, uterine weight or live fetuses/litter showed no statistically significant or dose-dependent differences between control and any of the treated-groups. Although, a slight increase in the number of resorptions was detected in the 1000 mg/kg group as compared to control, the difference was not significant.In the F1 generation, there was no significant or dose-dependent effects on embryo-fetal lethality or fetal growth for any treatment group.No significant differences or dose-related change were observed on crown rump distance of fetuses were observed as compared to control.The number of litters of at least one malformed fetus and the mean percentage of the litter malformed were significantly elevated in the high-dose group only. External observation revealed only two malformations: one in the 1000 mg/kg group (tail absent) and one in the 500 mg/kg group (micrognathia). Visceral examinations revealed two fetuses with abnormalities only in two fetuses at 1000 mg/kg. All groups exhibited comparably low incidences of malformations (dilated ureters/distended renal pelvises), which are anatomical variations previously observed in historical control fetuses. Fetuses with skeletal malformations were observed in the control, low-dose and high-dose groups at low incidence. In addition, different types of vertebral malformations were observed in four fetuses (four litters) from the high-dose group,but, were not statistically significant as compared to control.In conclusion, the test chemicalduring GD 6-15 at the dose level of 500 mg/ml and 1000 mg/kg resulted in significant maternal toxicity as evidenced by reduction in body weight, body weight gain and food consumption of pregnant female rats. However, the administration of the test chemical at maternally toxic doses of 500 and 1000 mg/kg had no adverse effect on sexual function, fertility and fetus development. The administration of the test chemicalslightly increased the incidence of fetal malformations in rats at 1000 mg/kg, which was seriously toxic for mothers. However, no developmental toxicity was observed at the maternally toxic dose of 500 mg/kg or the maternally non-toxic dose of 100 mg/kg. Some developmental effects produced only at maternally toxic exposure levels which indicates that Octyl acetateis not a selective developmental toxicant in rat and it does not disrupt development without obvious signs of adult toxicity. Hence, the NOAELfor reproductive and developmental toxicity is estimated as500 mg/kg/bw/dayfor P0 (parental) generations and 1000 mg/kg/bw/day for F1 generationwhen Sprague-Dawley female rats were orally treated with Octyl acetate for 10 days of gestation under the certain conditions. Maternal toxicity level is 100 mg/kg/bw/day when pregnant female SD rats are orally dosed with the test chemical during gestation.
Study 2.
In a teratogenicity study, female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to test chemical of γ-Butyrolactone (96-48-1) by oral gavage at a dose of 0,10,50,125,250 or 500 mg/kg/bw/day for 10 days, i.e. on gestation day 6 through 15). Each female was observed daily throughout the experimental period for physical condition and for signs of toxicity. Body weight, food and water consumption were monitored for each rat at approximately 3-day intervals beginning on day 0. The position and number of fetuses in utero, number of alive and dead fetuses, resorptions and corpora lutea, the sex of each fetus and individual fetal weight, and gross external anomalies and placental weight were recorded.Every third alive fetus were examined for soft tissue anomalies under a dissection microscope, while the remaining fetuses were fixed and stained for examination for skeletal defects. Total of two dams died during the treatment, one in the 125 mg/kg /day and one in the 500 mg/kg/day group due to lung problems.The mean maternal body weight gain and food consumption of all the treated groups was comparable to control group. Although the placental weights were significantly reduced for treated animals, no significant and dose-dependent differences were found between the control and the treated groups regarding the number of corpora lutea and total implantation sites, alive and dead fetuses, resorptions, preimplantation and post-implantation losses, or male/female ratios. Test chemical exposure resulted in significantly increased mean fetal weights as compared to control values in the 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg/day-exposed animals. A slight decrease in the incidence of bipartite centra of the thoracic vertebrae were noted in the 500 mg/kg/day group and a slight increase in the frequency of unossified hyoid cartilage in the 10 and 125 mg/kg/day groups. However, the skeletal alterations observed seemed not to appear in a systematic manner and is thus not considered to be due to test chemical exposure. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg bw/day for the F0 and F1 generation when pregnant female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with test chemical on gestation days 6- 15.
Based on the data available from different studies test chemical did not showed reproductive toxicity at dose concentration 5000mg/kg bw/day by oral route.Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a reproductive toxicant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
Effects on developmental toxicity
Description of key information
Developmental toxicity study
Based on the various studies available for the test chemical were reviewed to determine the developmental toxicity, NOAEL for test chemical was considered to be 500mg /kg bw/day .When rats were treated with test chemical orally. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test chemical is not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.

- 1.Maternal body weight and body weight change, food consumption, uterine data (i.e., corpora lutea, implants, resorptions), and malformation data were analyzed statistically using Bartlett's test of homogeneity of variance (Snedecor and Cochran, 1967) was used to determine if the groups had equivalent variances at the 1 % level of significance. If the variances were not significantly different, the groups were compared using a standard one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). If significant differences among the means were indicated, Duncan's test (Dunnett, 1964) was performed to determine which treated groups differed from control. Fetal weights and crown-rump lengths were analyzed using individual fetal values by a standard nested analysis of variance, with values nested within dams and dams nested within groups. If differences in groups were indicated, the least-significantdifference technique (Snedecor and Cochran, 1967) was used to determine which treated groups differed from control. If the groups did not have equivalent variances at the 1 % level, then a Kruskal-Wallis test (nonparametric) was used to assess differences in group means (Hollander and Wolf, 1973). If the means were different, a rank sum comparison was used to determine which treatment groups differed from control.
2.The differences between exposed groups and control groups with respect to numbers of corpora lutea, implantation sites, alive foetuses per litter, preimplantation loss, postimplantation loss as well as mean foetal weight, maternal body weight, placental weight, water and food consumption, was calculated using Student’s t-test. The number of malformations was analyzed using Chi-square test with Yate’s correction. - Indices:

- Executive summary:
Data available from different studies for test chemicals were reviewed to determine the developmental toxicity of test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:
Study 1:
In a Teratogenicity study, Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with test chemical in the concentration of 0,100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw orally by gavage. 2 female rats were died at 1000 mg/kg bw one each on GDs 10 and 12, respectively and elevated incidences of alopecia, rales, red nasal discharge, and ano-genital staining were observed in treated female rats as compared to control. A statistically significant decreased in mean body weight on on GDs 9, 12, 16, and 20 were observed at 1000 mg/kg bw.The effect was most evident during the first several days of dosing, when these animals actually lost weight (GDs 6-9). Statistically significant decrase in mean body weight and body weight changes were observed at several time points at 500 mg/kg bw as compared with control. These decrease in body weight appeared to occur in an ordered response to dose. Similarly, Dose-related decreases in food consumption for the Day 6-9, 9-12, and 12- 16 intervals were observed at 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw as compared with control. Slight increase in resorptions was observed as compared to control. But, the difference was not statistically significant. In addition, No statistically significant effect were observed on Corpora lutea/dam, Implants/litter, Resorptions/litter and Live fetuses/litter and Uterine weight of treated female rats as compared to control in P generation. In F1 generation,No significant effect was observed on fetal body weight as compared to control.Tail absent were observed in 1000 mg/kg bw and micrognathia in 500 mg/kg bwas compared to control. No significant differences or dose-related change were observed on crown rump distance of fetuses were observed as compared to control.Dilated lateral cerebral ventricles in two fetuses were observed at 1000 mg/kg bw which are anatomical variations previously observed in historical control fetuses. Different types of vertebral malformations were observed in four fetuses (four litters) in the form of incomplete ossification at 1000 mg/kg bw. But, were not statistically significant as compared to control. Therefore,NOAEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg bw for P generation and 1000 mg/kg bw for F1 generation when Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with test chemical orally by gavage for 10 days of gestation.
Study 2:
In a teratogenicity study, female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to test material by oral gavage for 10 days, i.e. on gestation day 6 through 15. As seen by the results, the mean maternal body weight gain and food consumption of the treated groups was compared to control group. The placental weights were significantly reduced for treated animals, and no significant differences were found between the control group and the treated groups as regards to corpora lutea and total implantation sites, alive and dead fetuses, resorptions, preimplantation and postimplantation losses, or male/female ratios. Test chemical exposure resulted in significantly increased mean fetal weights as compared to control values in the 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg/day-exposed animals. A slight decrease in the incidence of bipartite centra of the thoracic vertebrae were noted in the 500 mg/kg/day group and a slight increase in the frequency of unossified hyoid cartilage in the 10 and 125 mg/kg/day groups. However, the skeletal alterations observed seemed not to appear in a systematic manner and is thus not considered to be due to test chemical exposure. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg bw/day for the F0 and F1 generation when pregnant female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with test material on gestation days 6 though 15.
Thus, Based on the data available fortest chemical,No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 500mg /kg bw . Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulationtest chemicalis not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.

Developmental toxicity study
Data available from different studies for test chemicals were reviewed to determine the developmental toxicity of test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:
Study 1
In a Teratogenicity study, Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with test chemical in the concentration of0,100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw orally by gavage. 2 female rats were died at 1000 mg/kg bw one each on GDs 10 and 12, respectively and elevated incidences of alopecia, rales, red nasal discharge, and anal-genital staining were observed in treated female rats as compared to control. A statistically significant decreased in mean body weight on on GDs 9, 12, 16, and 20 were observed at 1000 mg/kg bw.The effect was most evident during the first several days of dosing, when these animals actually lost weight (GDs 6-9).Statistically significant decrase in mean body weight and body weight changes were observed at several time points at 500 mg/kg bw as compared with control. These decrease in body weight appeared to occur in an ordered response to dose. Similarly, Dose-related decreases in food consumption for the Day 6-9, 9-12, and 12- 16 intervals were observed at 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw as compared with control. Slight increase in resorptions was observed as compared to control. But, the difference was not statistically significant. In addition, No statistically significant effect were observed on Corpora lutea/dam, Implants/litter, Resorptions/litter and Live fetuses/litter and Uterine weight of treated female rats as compared to control in P generation. In F1 generation,No significant effect was observed on fetal body weight as compared to control.Tail absent were observed in 1000 mg/kg bw and micrognathia in 500 mg/kg was compared to control. No significant differences or dose-related change were observed on crown rump distance of fetuses were observed as compared to control.Dilated lateral cerebral ventricles in two fetuses were observed at 1000 mg/kg bw which are anatomical variations previously observed in historical control fetuses. Different types of vertebral malformations were observed in four fetuses (four litters) in the form of incomplete ossification at 1000 mg/kg bw. But, were not statistically significant as compared to control. Therefore,NOAEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg bw for P generation and 1000 mg/kg bw for F1 generation when Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with test chemical orally by gavage for 10 days of gestation.
Study 2.

As seen by the results, the mean maternal body weight gain and food consumption of the treated groups was compared to control group. The placental weights were significantly reduced for treated animals, and no significant differences were found between the control group and the treated groups as regards to corpora lutea and total implantation sites, alive and dead fetuses, resorptions, preimplantation and postimplantation losses, or male/female ratios. Test chemical exposure resulted in significantly increased mean fetal weights as compared to control values in the 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg/day-exposed animals. A slight decrease in the incidence of bipartite centra of the thoracic vertebrae were noted in the 500 mg/kg/day group and a slight increase in the frequency of unossified hyoid cartilage in the 10 and 125 mg/kg/day groups.

Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg bw/day for the F0 and F1 generation when pregnant female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with test chemical on gestation days 6 though 15.
Thus, Based on the data available for test chemical,No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 500mg /kg bw . Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test chemical is not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test chemical is not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.
