Reptiles. Relevant life stages, exposure routes, effects (acute here in the table means short‐term exposure and immediate effects) (chronic here in the table means long‐term exposure and also includes sublethal and delayed effects from short‐term exposure), possible coverage by endpoints available for other non‐target organisms and conclusions for the risk assessment
| Life stage | Exposure route | Effect | Covered by | Conclusion | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terrestrial stages | Embryo | Contact | Soil | Acute/chronic | No data available for a comparison | Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, if data become available suggesting a need, a new method will need to be designed |
| Juvenile, adult | Water | Acute/chronic | No data available for a comparison | Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, applies to a limited number of species/conditions. It is possible that it will be covered by a dermal toxicity test with amphibians (if developed) | ||
| Plants | Acute/chronic | No data available for a comparison | Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, considered relevant, if data become available suggesting a need, a new method will need to be designed | |||
| Overspray (incl. stone walls, drift deposition) | Acute | No data available for a comparison | Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, considered relevant, if data become available suggesting a need, it is possible that it will be covered by a dermal toxicity test with amphibians (if developed) | |||
| Soil | Acute/chronic | No data available for a comparison | Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, considered relevant, if data become available suggesting a need, a new method will need to be designed | |||
| Oral | Food | Acute/chronic | Current data show poor correlation with both avian and mammalian data. | Not currently addressed, no reproducible method available, considered relevant, if data become available suggesting a need, a new method will need to be designed | ||
| Drinking water | Acute/chronic | No data available for a comparison | Sufficiently addressed by oral uptake of food | |||
