Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information
Silicic acid (H2Si2O5), barium salt (1:1), lead-doped was administered by daily oral gavage to male and female Wistar Han rats at dose levels of 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day. Males were exposed for 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, and up to termination (for a total of 28 days). The females were exposed for 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, duringpost-mating, and at least 4 days of lactation (for 41-47 days).
Formulation analysis showed that the formulations were prepared accurately and homogenously, and were stable for at least 6 hours at room temperature.
Reproductive/Developmental results:
No reproductive/developmental toxicity was observedat any dose level.
Although only two females at 300 mg/kg/day survived to deliver live offspring due to the high mortality incidence, it could be concluded from the available data that no treatment-related effect on reproductive/developmental parameters occurred at 300 mg/kg/day. The lower gestation index and number of living pups at first litter check at 300 mg/kg/daywere ascribed to parental mortality, and were therefore not indicative of primary developmental toxicity.
Based on these results, the following No Observed Adverse Effect Levels (NOAEL) were derived:
Parental NOAEL: 30 mg/kg/day
Reproductive NOAEL: >=300 mg/kg/day
Developmental NOAEL: >=300 mg/kg/day
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data, Silicic acid (H2Si2O5), barium salt (1:1), lead-doped, does not need to be classified for reproduction or developmental toxicity according to Directive 67/548/EC or the CLP Regulation. However, based on the current Annex listing, classification is required, see the specific chapter.
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.
