Effects on fertility
Description of key information
No toxicity data on adverse effects on sexual function and fertility with zinc dipropionate are available, thus the reproductive toxicity will be addressed with existing data on its two individual moieties zinc and propionate, respectively propionic acid.
Zinc dipropionate is not expected to impair sexual function or fertility, since the two moieties zinc and propionate are not considered to have respective effects.
Please refer to the section for the respective assessment entity for data on the moieties.
Effect on fertility: via oral route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
Effects on developmental toxicity
Description of key information
No developmental toxicity study with zinc dipropionate is available, thus the reproductive toxicity will be addressed with existing data on its two individual moieties zinc and propionate.
Zinc dipropionate is not expected to impair the developemnt of the offspring, since the two moieties zinc and propionate are not considered to have respective effects.
Please refer to the section for the respective assessment entity for data on the moieties.
Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
Justification for classification or non-classification
As the two moieties of zinc dipropionate are not considered to impair sexual function, fertility or the development of the offspring, zinc dipropionate in all probability does also not have reproductive toxic effects.
According to the criteria of REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 and its subsequent adaptations, zinc dipropionate does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for reproductive toxicity.
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.
