7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | [Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, in (1) and (2), no reproductive toxicity was observed, but these tests were by dermal administration. In addition, there was no data available on developmental toxicity effects. [Evidence Data] (1) It was reported that, in a two-generation reproduction toxicity study for ethoxylated alcohol (C=9-11, EO6) contained in this substance used as a test substance by dermal administration to rats, no reproductive toxicity was observed (REACH registration dossier (Accessed May 2021)). (2) It was reported that, in a two-generation reproduction toxicity study (GLP) for ethoxylated alcohol (C=9-11, EO6) contained in this substance used as a test substance by dermal administration to rats, no reproductive toxicity was observed (HERA (2009), AICIS IMAP (2019)). |

FY2021 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2019 revised edition (Ver. 2.0)) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | [Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) to (3), it was classified as "Not classified" in the oral route and dermal route. However, classification was not possible due to lack of data since there was no information on toxicity in the inhalation route. [Evidence Data] (1) It was reported that, in a 90-day repeated oral toxicity study with rats dosed by feeding, no signs of toxicity were observed at 3,000 ppm (150 mg/kg/day, in the range corresponding to “Not classified”) (REACH registration dossier (Accessed May 2021), HERA (2009)). (2) It was reported that, in a 90-day repeated oral toxicity study with rats dosed by feeding, lower body weight gain and decreased food intake were observed at 10,000 ppm (400 mg/kg/day, in the range corresponding to “Not classified") (HERA (2009)). (3) It was reported that, in a subchronic dermal toxicity: 90-day study (OECD TG 411, GLP, 3 days/week) with rats, dry, flaky skin, and epidermal thickening with hyperkeratosis were observed at the treated area at or above 10% (approx. 80 mg/kg/day, within the range for Category 2), and relative kidney weight increased at 25% (approx. 200 mg/kg/day, within the range for Category 2) (AICIS IMAP (2018), HERA (2009)). |
