Effects on fertility
Description of key information
No experimental study is available. The test substance is intended for use in an industrial setting only, and thus oral uptake is not an anticipated route of exposure. Upon hydrolysis of the test substance, boron trifluoride and methanol are formed among other dissociation products. The test substance is highly corrosive and would lead to severe parental toxicity well before internal doses of the hydrolysis products are reached that could potentially cause effects on fertility or development. This would also result in unwarranted distress for the animals. Therefore, any reproductive study with the test substance is scientifically unjustified. Due to the corrosive properties of the substance, suitable risk management measures for dermal and inhalative exposure need to be taken (gloves, respiratory protection). Relevant human exposure via oral, dermal and inhalative uptake can be excluded, which justifies waiving of reproductive toxicity, developmental toxicity and teratogenicity testing according to annex XI, section 3 of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
