Genetic toxicity in vivo
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
Valeryl chloride was tested in the Ames reverse mutation assay (GLP compliant OECD guideline 471/472 study) using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvr A at 20 to 5000 µg/plate (standard plate test) and 20 to 1500 µg/plate (preincubation test) with and without metabolic activation (1997). No precipitation of the test substance was found. A bacteriotoxic effect was observed at doses from 1,500 µg/plate (standard plate test) or from 500 µg/plate (preincubation test). Under the conditions tested, an increase in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants was not observed both in the standard plate test and in the preincubation test either without S-9 mix or after the addition of a metabolising system.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of the Ames test, valeryl chloride does not need to be classified according to the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (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.
