Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

There are no oral, inhalation or dermal reproductive toxicity studies available for 1,2 -bis[dichloro(methyl)silyl]ethane. Data waivers are in place for this endpoint (see attachment to data waiver for toxicity to reproduction).

Limited data are available regarding the reproduction and development of animals following oral, dermal or inhalation exposure to hydrogen chloride or hydrochloric acid, however, protons and chloride ions both exist as normal constituents of body fluid in animals, hence low concentrations of hydrogen chloride appear not to cause adverse effects in animals. Therefore hydrochloric acid would not contribute to any reproductive toxicity (fertility or developmental) effects at the dose levels tested.

Effect on fertility: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Effect on fertility: via inhalation route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Effect on fertility: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information

There are no oral, inhalation or dermal developmental toxicity studies available for 1,2 -bis[dichloro(methyl)silyl]ethane. Data waivers are in place for this endpoint (see attachment to data waiver for developmental toxicity).

Limited data are available regarding the reproduction and development of animals following oral, dermal or inhalation exposure to hydrogen chloride or hydrochloric acid, however, protons and chloride ions both exist as normal constituents of body fluid in animals, hence low concentrations of hydrogen chloride appear not to cause adverse effects in animals. Therefore hydrochloric acid would not contribute to any reproductive toxicity (fertility or developmental) effects at the dose levels tested.

Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Effect on developmental toxicity: via inhalation route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Effect on developmental toxicity: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data indicate that 1,2 -bis[dichloro(methyl)silyl]ethane

does not need to be classified for toxicity to reproduction (fertility or developmental toxicity) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
