Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In Vitro (Clastogenic effects - mammalian): OECD 473; Chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes. Negative. Reliability = 1

In Vitro (Mutagenic effects - mammalian): OECD 476; In Vitro Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation. Negative. Reliability = 1

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Genetic toxicity in vivo

Description of key information

In Vivo (Clastogenic effects - mammalian): OECD 474; in vivo mouse micronucleus study; Negative at concentrations up to 500 ppm. Reliability = 1.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

The substance was negative in a battery of in vitro and in vivo studies. 

In vitro: The substance exhibited no mutagenic responses in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation in bacterial cells (Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537 and Escherichia coli strain WP-2 uvrA). 

The substance was not clastogenic in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (OECD 473).

The substance was negative for the induction of forward mutations at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) locus (hprt) of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, in the presence and absence of an exogenous metabolic activation system (OECD 476).

In vivo: The substance was negative in a peripheral blood micronucleus test in rats following a 90-day inhalation exposure up to exposure concentrations of 7500 ppm (50322 mg/m3).

Based on the results of this battery of genetic toxicity studies, it is concluded that the substance is not genotoxic in mammalian systems.


Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
Multiple OECD guideline, GLP studies have been identified as key for this endpoint. In addition the study selected above an Ames assay and in vitro chromosome aberration plus in vitro cell gene mutation assays are pertinent to the hazard conclusion for this endpoint.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance was not mutagenic or clastogenic when evaluated in a variety of guideline in vitro and in vivo test designs conducted in accordance with GLP standards. The substance does not need to be classified for mutagenicity according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
