Key value for chemical safety assessment

Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information
One bacterial reverse mutation study is available (HLS, 1996) which is a key study. This study showed a negative result both with and without metabolic activation. One mammalian cytogenicity study is available (HUNTINGDON LIFE SCIENCES, 1997) which is a key study. This study showed a negative result both with and without metabolic activation.

Additional information

Additional information from genetic toxicity in vitro:

One bacterial reverse mutation study and one mammalian cytogenicity study are available (HLS, 1996 & HLS, 1997 ) according to EU Method B.13/14 & EU Method B.10. All two studies are considered as reliable and both of them are key studies. All two studies gave negative results both with and without metabolic activation.


Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
The study in mammalian cells was chosen over that in bacterial cells, as the higher level study.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Genetic toxicity in vitro: Negative result.

Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Table 3.5.1 the substance is not classified for the genetic toxicity endpoint.
