Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Examinations

Maternal examinations:
Dams were examined for signs of toxicity.
Fetal examinations:
Offspring were examined for deformities characteristic of field outbreaks (deformities of limbs, spine, and palate).

Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

Maternal developmental toxicity

Details on maternal toxic effects:
