Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The NOAEL for maternal toxicity study was considered to be 25 mg/kg whereas LOAEL was considered to be 125 mg/kg in Charles River CrI:CD BR rats when 3,4-dichloroaniline was administered orally by gavage.
Executive summary:

In this study, 3,4-dichloroaniline (CAS No : 95-76-1) was administered orally by gavage at three doses - 5, 25 and 125 mg/kg - to groups of pregnant Charles River CrI:CD BR rats.No statistically significant or toxicologically relevant adverse effects on any of the maternal reproductive parameters studied were observed in the 5 and 25 mg/kg dose groups.The test article did, however, produce a slight increase in absorptions and consequently in post-implantation loss at 125 mg/kg. Hence, NOAEL for maternal toxicity study was considered to be 25 mg/kg bw whereas LOAEL was considered to be 125 mg/kg in Charles River CrI:CD BR rats when 3,4-dichloroaniline was administered orally by gavage.
