Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information from genetic toxicity in vitro:

Three reliable, GLP compliant, bacterial gene mutation tests are available. The key study (Institut Pasteur de Lille, 1997) employed the full range of bacterial strains recommended in the current OECD 471 test guidelines. The two supporting studies used higher test concentrations, but less robust ranges of bacterial strains. None of the three tests showed any mutagenic activity either with or without metabolic activation.


Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
Of the three available bacterial gene mutation studies, this was the only one to have employed the full range of bacterial strains recommended in the current OECD 471 test guidelines

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance was not classified for mutagenicity, according to EU CLP criteria (Regulation No.1271/2008).
