Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Key study: The test item was tested for potential mutagenic activity using the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay according to OECD Guideline 471 (GLP study). The experiments were carried out using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (S9 fraction prepared from the livers of rats).
In the Initial Mutation Test and Confirmatory Mutation Tests (using the plate incorporation method), a clear, reproducible positive effect was obtained in three examined bacterial strains (Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA1537, and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA) with and/or without metabolic activation as the observed revertant colony numbers were above the respective biological threshold value and dose-related trends were also observed. In the most sensitive strain (Salmonella typhimurium TA1537) the positive effect was seen right down to the lowest tested concentration, indicating a strong mutagenic activity of the test item. No insolubility or signs of cytotoxicity were detected on the plates in the main tests in any examined strains with and without metabolic activation. The tests were considered to be valid.
Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
Only one study available.
Short description of key information:
Key study: Test method OECD 471.GLP study. The test item had mutagenic activity in the examined bacterial strains.
Endpoint Conclusion: Adverse effect observed (positive)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data, the substance is not classified for mutagenicity according to CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
