Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Results: P0 (first parental generation)

Effect levels (P0)

Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:
2.2 mg/kg bw/day
Sex:
male
Basis for effect level:
other: highest dose tested

Overall reproductive toxicity

Reproductive effects observed:
not specified

Any other information on results incl. tables

No effects on male sex organs including sperm quality were found in the recent oral OECD TG 416 two-generation study and the NOAEL is therefore the highest dose studied, i.e. is 2.2 mg Ni/kg bw/day.
