In accordance to the ECHA guidance document “Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)”, the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2 to reflect the fact that this study was conducted on a read-across substance. (For detailed information on the justification of read-across, please refer to the analogue justification document attached in IUCLID section 13).

Mortalities and clinical signs:
Two deaths occurred in the F0 and F1 generation each but all four deaths were not regarded as treatment-related. Treated F0 females showed an increased incidence of hair loss in a non-dose-related pattern. In F1 animals no clinical signs of toxicity were observed.
Body weight:
Statistically significant and treatment-related reductions in body weight in F0 females were observed during the F1a gestation period in the mid- and high-dose group. During the F1b and F1c gestation periods, reductions in body weight were observed in the high-dose group only. Decreases in the mean weekly body weight were observed in the F1 generation at the high dose level during the initial 10 weeks (males) or 13 weeks (females). These decreases were consistent with a reduced growth observed in these animals. Statistically significant reductions were additionally noted for high-dose females during the F2a and F2b gestation period.
Food consumption:
Reductions were noted for the F0 males at the high-dose level for three weeks and at the mid-dose level for two weeks. Food consumption of F0 females in the mid-dose group was reduced for one week and for several weeks in the high-dose group. Dose-related reductions were additionally noted for F0 females in the mid- and high-dose group throughout the F1a gestation period. This treatment-related reduction continued throughout the F1b and, without reaching statistically significance, in the F1c gestation period in the high-dose group. During the lactation periods in the high-dose group, food consumption was decreased in all three breeding periods. During the F2a and F2b gestation and lactation period food consumption was significantly and treatment-related reduced in the high-dose group.
Organ weight: There was no treatment-related effect on testes weight in the F0 and F1 generation males.
Necropsy: All macroscopic and microscopic changes seen in the rats were considered to be spontaneous or agonal.
Reproductive preformance: No treatment-related differences in the male and female copulatory and fertility indices, the gestation index, the mean copulatory interval or the mean gestation length were observed. Sperm were present, motile and morphologically normal.
Litter data
The mean number of stillborn and live pups in the treated groups was comparable with the one of the control litters at all dose levels and in both generations.
Pup body weight: Mean offspring body weights were consistently reduced to a significant degree in all litters across both generations at the 180 ppm level.
Clinical observations: No dose-related trends were observed in the type and incidence of clinical observations in treated F1 and F2 offspring when compared to the untreated controls.
Necropsy: No dose-related trends were observed in the type and incidence of clinical observations in treated F1 and F2 offspring when compared to the untreated controls.
