Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

There are 4 in vitro studies on mutagenicity of the target substance. The Ames-tests all showed positive effects only with S9 -activation, whilst the mouse lymphoma study showed positive results with and without activation. Therefore the test results of the in vitro studies are ambiguous. The only in vivo micronucleus study showed negative results at all doses. A classification as mutagenic is not justified with this results.
