- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: Doses used were similar to those used for other inhalation repeated dose studies conducted on this test material.As noted in paragraph 13 of OECD guideline 414, the dose levels should be selected taking into account any existing toxicity. The highest dose tested in the this study (15,000 ppm) was based on the cardiac effects observed in the 2 week, 4 week, and 13 week toxicity studies conducted in rats. As noted in the table attached in the background info section. In the 2 wk, 4 week, and 90 day inhalation toxicity studies, cardiac effects including mononuclear cell infiltrates were observed at of 15000 – 20000 ppm and higher. In these studies, there were also no clinical signs of toxicity. The rat prenatal toxicity study did not include evaluation of the cardiac tissue as this is not a standard endpoint for these studies and data were available on this endpoint from the repeated dose studies. Honeywell considers the existing rat prenatal toxicity study to be compliant with the REACH regulation.

Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
Maternal developmental toxicity
- Details on maternal toxic effects:
- Maternal toxic effects:no effects
Details on maternal toxic effects:
No mortality was seen. No remarkable clinical signs were observed compared to controls. No effect observed on mean maternal body weight during pregnancy (however, body weight loss was noted in all groups including controls were noted during GD 6-9 and 19-21). The mean body weight change during the total exposure was comparable in all groups. No effects were observed in food comsumption. No differences were noted in number of females mated, number pregnant at C-section, female fecundity index, corpora lutea, implantation sites, pre or post implanation loss, live fetuses, dead fetuses, resorptions (total, early or late). Weights of gavid uterus, carcass, empty uterus, and ovaries were not different from controls. Macroscopic findings at necropsy did not reveal any remarkable or treatment related findings.

- Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:no effects
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
No statistically significant differences in the incidence of external observations were observed among the groups. Enlarged placenta was seen in all live fetusus in one high dose dam but no abnormalities were observed when these placentas were evaluated micropscopically. Fetal and placental weights were not different. No statistically significant differences were noted in the incidence of visceral malformations, anomolies, or variations. Skeletal examinations did not show a statistically significant difference in incidence of skeletal malformations, anomalies, or variation were observed among the groups. Although there were a few cases of statistically significant changes in ossification, they are not always dose related and often show a decrease in delayed or incomplete ossification with dose. There was no difference in total fetaly skeletal retardations based on fetal or litter incidence. The effects observed are not considered to be adverse.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, under the conditions of this study, HFO-1234ze given by inhalation to pregnant female rats from gestation day (GD) 6-20 for 6 hours per day up to 15,000 ppm did not induce maternal or prenatal developmental toxicity. Therefore this level represents the NOAEL for developmental effects in this study.
