Additional information

 There is are no studies available on the fertility of the substance itself (target, EC 907-131-0). Therefore, read across data on main constituent TEG (CAS: 112 -27 -6) has been used.

 

The test substance was tested in a two-generation study (Bossert et al., 1992). Male and female mice were given the test substance via the drinking water in concentrations of 0.3, 1.5 and 2% (= 590, 3300 and 6780 mg/kg bw/day). The test substance was not a reproductive toxicant in either generation of mice when administered at concentrations of up to 3%, although developmental toxicity was noted in the first generation as reduced pup body weight. The NOAEL for the parental animals was found to be 6780 mg/kg bw/day; NOAEL for the F1 generation was also 6780 mg/kg bw/day.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information

In an oral developmental toxicity study on mice an effect on fetal body weight was observed. The NOAEL was established to be 565 mg/kg bw/day (read across data)

Additional information

There is are no studies available on the developmental toxicity / teratogenicity of the substance itself (target, EC 907-131-0). Therefore, read across data on main constituent TEG (CAS: 112 -27 -6) and on DEG (CAS 111 -46 -6) has been used.

A developmental toxicity study with mice was reported (BRRC, 1990). Time-pregnant mice were given concentrations of 0.5, 5 and 10 mL/kg/d from gestation day 6 -15 via gavage (study duration: until gestation day 18). The administration of TEG resulted in maternal toxicity at 10 mL/kg/d and fetotoxicity at 10 and 5 mL/kg/d. The ratio of the adult lowest observable effect level to the developmental lowest observable effect level was greater than 1 indicating preferential susceptibility of the developing mouse fetus to the test substance under these study conditions. The NOEL for maternal toxicity was 5 mL/kg/d and the NOEL for developmental toxicity was 0.5 mL/kg/d (equivalent to 565 mg/kg bw/day).

TEG was tested by gavage in rats. Doses of 1, 5 and 10 mL/kg were given to time-pregnant rats from gestation day 6 - 15 (study duration: 21 days). Maternal toxicity was seen at 5 and 10 mL/kg and fetotoxicity was observed at 10 mL/kg/day. There was a slight treatment-related increase in the incidence of two minor skeletal malformations at the high dose group. The NOEL for maternal toxicity was 1 mL/kg/d, and the NOEL for developmental toxicity was 5 mL/kg/d (BRRC, 1991).

For developmental toxicity in rabbits, read-across from DEG was employed. Prenatal toxicity of orally administered DEG in rabbits was investigated in a study according to OECD TG 414 (BASF, 1989; Hellwig et al., 1995). DEG was administered by gavage to pregnant rabbits in daily doses of 100, 400 and 1000 mg/kg bw /day. From G7 through GD 19. Treatment-related effects on body weight parameters or clinical signs were not observed in the dams at any dose. Necropsy did not reveal any findings associated with the test item, and the gestational parameters were not significantly altered in the treated groups vs. the control group. Up to and including a dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/day, no signs of embryo-/fetotoxicity were observed; especially no teratogenic effects could be detected.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data classification for reproductive toxicity is not warranted according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
