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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The key study followed standard guidelines at the time, involving the use of five strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1573 and TA102) exposed to concentrations up to 100 % using a preincubation method in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. The test substance was found to be non-mutagenic to bacterial strains in this test.
Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
A Klimisch 2 (Reliable with restrictions), GLP compliant, guideline study, available as an unpublished report. Test substance is 84.8 % gold.
Short description of key information:
A GLP regulatory guideline Ames test (OECD471) performed with the test substance (84.8% gold).
Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)
Justification for classification or non-classification
The test substance (84.8 % gold) was found to be non-mutagenic to bacterial strains. However, mutagenicity studies in mammalian cells were waived on the basis of results from a bio-elution test in which showed no gold metal release above the limit of detection (1 µg/L). Consequently, it is not possible to classify the test substance for this endpoint.
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).
