The European REACH regulation requires the evaluation of reproductive toxicity in screening tests according to OECD TG 421 and 422 for substances above the tonnage level of 10Â tons/year. The overall aim of this paper is to increase flexibility in combination with a reduced number of experimental animals. Therefore, in contrast to the existing approach the registrant should have the possibility to file a dossier for a substance at the level of 10Â tons/year and above also on the basis of data from a developmental toxicity study (OECD TG 414) plus a full-scale subacute toxicity study (OECD TG 407 according to the 1995 protocol). The proposed new test strategy takes into account overall considerations of duty of care and animal welfare. It enables an assessment of developmental toxicity on a definitive instead of a screening level. Registrants should be allowed to select between these two options, either the existing approach (OECD TG 421/407 and alternatively TG 422) or the approach proposed in this paper (OECD TG 407 plus TG 414).
