Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information on results:
Observations:
The vehicle (dimethyl sulphoxide) control plates gave counts
of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the
positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked
increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with
and without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of
the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.


The test material caused no visible reduction in the growth
of the bacterial lawn at any dose level. The test material
was, therefore, tested up to the maximum recommended dose
level of 5000 µg/plate. No test material precipitate was
observed on the plates at any of the doses tested in either
the presence or absence of S9-mix.


No significant increase in the frequency of revertant
colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains with
any dose of the test material, either with or without
metabolic activation.


The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic under
the conditions of this test.
