Justification for classification or non-classification
No carcinogenicity study is available for potassium cyanate.
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex X, a carcinogenicity study (required in section 8.9.1) does not need to be conducted as potassium cyanate is not classified as mutagen category 2. There is no evidence from the repeated dose studies that the substance is able to induce hyperplasia and/or pre-neoplastic lesions. Therefore the substance is not considered to be classified for carcinogenity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the seventeenth time in Regulation (EU) 2021/849.

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).
