Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

The available data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on the available data, the substance is not considered to be classified for carcinogenicity under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the ninth time in Regulation (EU) No 2016/1179.

Additional information

There were no experimental data available.

Due to the lack of mutagenicity, a cancerogenic potential of butan-1-ol based on mutagenic effects can widely be ruled out. Additionally, no structural fragments were found in a structure-activity-relationship model (CASE) indicating a carcinogenic potential. Thus, there is at present no evidence for a carcinogenic potential of butan-1 -ol. Therefore a carcinogenicity study is not justified.
