Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicological information

Developmental toxicity / teratogenicity

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
developmental toxicity
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Justification for type of information:
For this endpoint, an analysis based on the components is performed. Based on SIDS report on Sodium carbonate, the toxicity on developmental toxicity is not of concerned whatever the route of administration. Based on the SIDS report and EU-RAR about sodium hydroxide, the toxicity on developmental toxicity is not of concerned whatever the route of administration. Based on a teratogenicity study on Na2S registration dossier, the NOAEC inhalatory is as minimum the NOAEC which could be considered for the developmental toxicity.
