Is there any added value of the second generation in the Extended One-Generation Reproductive Toxicity Study (EOGRTS)? A retrospective analysis of 24 EOGRTS.

The Extended One-Generation Reproductive Toxicity Study (EOGRTS) is a standard information requirement under Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals (REACH) in Europe. Inclusion of an F2 generation is considered useful if this impacts hazard identification or when it provides additional information altering the reproductive or developmental No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) and subsequent risk assessment. In this retrospective analysis the added value of the F2 generation in 24 EOGRTS was evaluated.
