Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Effects on fertility

Effect on fertility: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed
Effect on fertility: via inhalation route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Effect on fertility: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information

Short description of key information:
The critical constituents (lead compounds) in the target substance in Annex VI of CLP1272/2008 have harmonized classification entry (Repr 1A H360Df). The available data from human epidemiological studies on lead compounds indicate that lead exposure is associated with disturbances of endocrine and reproductive functions in men and pregnancy outcome. Animal studies have served causality in epidemiology studies and to elucidate potential mechanisms of action.

Based on the composition of the target substance and on the fact that exposure to inorganic lead compounds has been documented to result adverse effects on human fertility the target UVCB substance needs to be classified for Repr 1A through inhalation and if swallowed. Dermal route is not relevant route of human exposure, since dermal absorption of lead compounds through intact skin is expected < 0.1%.

Justification for selection of Effect on fertility via oral route:
No study conducted for the target UVCB substance. The hazard assessment conclusion is based on the overall weight of evidence of the results of several fertility studies conducted for the most critical constituents in the target substance i.e. lead and zinc compounds.

Justification for selection of Effect on fertility via inhalation route:
No inhalation studies available for the target substance itself or the most critical constituents in the target substance i.e. lead and zinc compounds.

Justification for selection of Effect on fertility via dermal route:
No dermal studies available for the target substance itself or the most critical constituents in the target substance i.e. lead and zinc compounds.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information

The critical constituents (lead compounds) in the target substance in Annex VI of CLP1272/2008 have harmonized classification entry

(Repr 1A). The available data from human epidemiological studies on lead compounds indicate that lead exposure is associated with disturbances of endocrine and reproductive functions in men and pregnancy outcome. Animal studies have served causality in epidemiology studies and to elucidate potential mechanisms of action.
Based on the composition of the target substance and on the fact that exposure to inorganic lead compounds has been documented to

result adverse effects on neurobehavioral development in children the target UVCB substance needs to be classified for Repr 1A H360Df

through inhalation and if swallowed. Dermal route is not relevant route of human exposure, since dermal absorption of lead compounds through intact skin is expected < 0.1%.

Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed
Effect on developmental toxicity: via inhalation route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Effect on developmental toxicity: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information

Justification for selection of Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route:
No study conducted for the target UVCB substance. The hazard assessment conclusion is based on the overall weight of evidence of the results of several developmental toxicity studies conducted for the most critical constituents in the target substance i.e. lead and zinc compounds.

Justification for selection of Effect on developmental toxicity: via inhalation route:
No inhalation studies available for the target substance itself or the most critical constituents in the target substance i.e. lead and zinc compounds.

Justification for selection of Effect on developmental toxicity: via dermal route:
No dermal studies available for the target substance itself or the most critical constituents in the target substance i.e. lead and zinc compounds.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the transformation/dissolution study (OECD guidance 29) conducted for the substance, the most critical constituents leachable to water from this UVCB substance are lead and zinc compounds. Lead compounds in Annex VI of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) has harmonized classification for Repr. 1A H360Df and for Repr. Cat. 3; R62 according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC. Thus, according to the CLP mixture rules also the target UVCB substance is classified to this hazard class.
