Endpoint:

screening for reproductive / developmental toxicity

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because relevant human exposure can be excluded as demonstrated in the relevant exposure assessment

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In addition to the technical issues for a OECD 422/421 study, an assessment of the available data on the substance was also considered.
The study does not need to be conducted if the substance is known to be a genotoxic carcinogen and appropriate risk management measures are implemented, or the substance is a known germ cell mutagen and appropriate risk management measures are implemented.
The substance is currently classified as Carc. Cat 2 (H351: Suspected of causing cancer) and was mutagenic in in-vitro gene mutation studies, although the genotoxicity data is inconclusive for classification. The substance has also been identified as a possible alkylating agent.
Therefore, although the substance is not confirmed to be a genotoxic carcinogen or germ cell mutagen, there are known hazards for both carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. Appropriate risk management measures are implemented during use to ensure safety to workers. Therefore, a reproductive toxicity study is considered unnecessary.
