Description of key information
Reproductive toxicity study
Based on the data available from different studies, NOAEL for test material was considered to be 1000mg/kg /day for reproductive toxicity, when male and 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.

- Executive summary:
Data available from different studies were reviewed to determine the reproductive toxicity of testchemical.The studies are as mentioned below:
Study 1
The reproductive and developmental effects of test chemical have been investigated in a 1-generation study in rats. The test chemical was administered at dietary dose levels of 0, 0.25, 0.5and 1.0 % (250, 500 and 1000 mg /kg bw/d) togroups of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats for two weeks prior to breeding, 1-14 days during breeding, then to females during gestation and lactation. The experimental diets were freely available to the offspring throughout postnatal development up to the age of 90-110 days. Body weights were measured weekly except during breeding. On the dayfollowing birth, all litters were examined and data collected on litter size, sex distribution,weight, and number of dead or malformed offspring. A variety of behavioural tests were determined in the offspring. Further, brainweights of day 90 were determined in the offspring. The experiment was replicated after2 years using the same exposure regimen.
The test chemical produced no effects on paternal or offspring weight or food consumption. No significant effects of any of the measures ofreproductive performance (proportion of females producing litters to those bred, thenumber of small litters, gestation length, litter size, sex ratio) were observed. No malformations were seen upon external examination. Preweaning offspring mortality was significantly increased at the 1.0 % and 0.5 % dose levels in the first experiment, but not inthe second. No adverse effects on offspring growth or adult regional brain weight were observed.No adverse effects were found in the present experiments on parental weight, food consumption, or reproductive performance.Therefore,NOAEL was considered to be 1.0 % (1000 mg/kg/day) for F0 and F1 generation when Sprague-dawleymale andfemale rat were exposed to test chemical .
Study 2
In a Teratogenic Potential Test, CD Sprague-Dawley female rats treated with test material in the concentration of 0, 100, 500 or 1500 mg/kg bw orally by gavage in water for 14 days (days 6-19 of gestation). Six rats died during the dosing period at 1500 mg/kg bw as compared to control. Survival was 100% in the controls and the groups receiving 100 and 500 mg/kg of dye. Slight reductions in body-weight gains at 1500 mg/kg bw and Orange discoloration of the urine was noted in all treated rats during the treatment period. No effect on reproductive parameters such as Viable and non-viable fetuses, early and late resorptions, total implantations and corpora lutea and sex ratio of fetuses were observed in treated female rats as compared to control. Green discoloration of the amniotic fluid was observed in 1, 10 and 16 rats at 100, 500 and 1500 mg/kg/day groups, respectively, and the small intestines were green in colour in many rats at 500 mg/Kg group. In addition, No effect on Body weight of fetuses were observed as compared to control. A slight increase in the number of litters with unossified sternebrae (sternebrae nos 1-6) and rudimentary 14th rib(s) was observed at 1500 mg/kg bw however, these values fell within the ranges of historical control data. No biologically meaningful or statistically significant differences in the number of litters and number of fetuses with malformations and number of fetuses or litters with developmental variations were observed in treated rats as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 1500 mg/kg/day for P and F1 generation when CD Sprague-Dawley female rats treated with test material orally by gavage for 14 days.
Based on the data available from different studies, test material did not showedreproductive toxicityat dose concentration 1000mg/kg /day. When male and female rats were treated with test material orally,thus, comparing this value with the criteria ofCLP regulationtest materialis not likelyto classify as reproductive toxicant.

- 1.Analysis of variance for unequal group sizes, with split-plot designs where repeated measures were made, were performed on the majority of the data. Duncan a posteriori multiple range comparison tests for unequal group sizes (Kramer 1956) were used on those measures on which significant F-ratios occurred. Frequency data (e.g., mortality) were analyzed by Fisher's test for uncorrelated proportions (Guilford 1965). On preweaning tests, data on individual subjects were averaged for the entire litter or within sex and the litter was, therefore, the unit of analysis. On postweaning tests, only one male and one female was used from each litter on any given test,therefore, litter was again the unit of analysis, but no litter averaging was required. Because of the large number of tests done, and therefore, the number of statistical tests required, effects were only accepted as significant if the overall test (i.e., usually an F-test) occurred at a level ofp < 0.01 or beyond. Follow-up a posteriori individual group comparisons, however, were less stringent (p < 0.05) under the assumption that the F-test provided an adequate protection level when used at p < 0.01.

- 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
The reproductive and developmental effects of test chemical have been investigated in a 1-generation study in rats. The test chemical was administered at dietary dose levels of 0, 0.25, 0.5and 1.0 % (250, 500 and 1000 mg /kg bw/d) togroups of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats for two weeks prior to breeding, 1-14 days during breeding, then to females during gestation and lactation. The experimental diets were freely available to the offspring throughout postnatal development up to the age of 90-110 days. Body weights were measured weekly except during breeding. On the dayfollowing birth, all litters were examined and data collected on litter size, sex distribution,weight, and number of dead or malformed offspring. A variety of behavioural tests were determined in the offspring. Further, brainweights of day 90 were determined in the offspring. The experiment was replicated after2 years using the same exposure regimen.
The test chemical produced no effects on paternal or offspring weight or food consumption. No significant effects of any of the measures ofreproductive performance (proportion of females producing litters to those bred, thenumber of small litters, gestation length, litter size, sex ratio) were observed. No malformations were seen upon external examination. Preweaning offspring mortality was significantly increased at the 1.0 % and 0.5 % dose levels in the first experiment, but not inthe second. No adverse effects on offspring growth or adult regional brain weight were observed.No adverse effects were found in the present experiments on parental weight, food consumption, or reproductive performance.Therefore,NOAEL was considered to be 1.0 % (1000 mg/kg/day) for F0 and F1 generation when Sprague-dawleymale andfemale rat were exposed to test chemical .
Study 2
In a Teratogenic toxicity study, CD Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with test material in the concentration of 0, 100, 500 and 1500 mg/kg body weight/day by oral gavage. Six rats died during the dosing period and at 1500 mg/kg bw/day and Orange discoloration of the urine was observed in all the treated rats as compared to control. Similarly, green discoloration of the amniotic fluid and green colored small intestines were observed at 1500 mg/kg bw/day and green discoloration of the amniotic fluid was observed at 100 and 500 mg/kg bw/day treated rats as compared to control. No effect on Post-implantation loss/dam, Total implantations/dam, Corpora lutea/dam and There were no biologically meaningful or statistically significant differences in the number of litters and Foetal sex of treated rats were observed as compared to control. In addition, No effect on viability of foetuse, number of fetuses with malformations, number of foetuses or litters with developmental variations was observed in any of the treated groups. Slight increase in the number of litters with unossified sternebrae (sternebrae nos 1-6) and rudimentary 14thrib(s) was observed in feotus of 1500 mg/kg bw/day treated rats as compared to control, but the observed effect fell within the ranges of historical control data. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 1500 mg/kg body weight /day for F0 and F1 generation when CD Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with test material orally.
Thus, based on the data available fortest chemical,No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000mg /kg bw .When rats were treated with test chemical orally. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulationtest chemicalis not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.
