Carcinogenicity
Administrative data
Description of key information
Experimental data show that used motor oils increased the frequency of tumours in treated animals. However, data from the category were not used to assess this endpoint for the substance of interest, because no experimental data are available to now on the other member situated on the opposite side of the category. A different approach was considered more suitable, based on the composition of the substance which contains > 3% of DMSO extract (IP 346). Therefore, the substance was considerd as carcinogen.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Justification for classification or non-classification
