Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

A mutation means a permanent change in the amount or structure of the genetic material in a cell. The term ‘mutation’ applies both to heritable genetic changes that may be manifested at the phenotypic level and to the underlying DNA modifications when known (including specific base pair changes and chromosomal translocations). According to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), substances which cause concern for humans owing to the possibility that they may induce heritable mutations in the germ cells of humans are considered. The classification (Category 2) is based on positive evidence obtained from experiments in mammals and/or in some cases from in vitro experiments, obtained from: somatic cell mutagenicity tests in vivo, in mammals; or other in vivo somatic cell genotoxicity tests which are supported by positive results from in vitro mutagenicity assays. Moreover, substances which are positive in in vitro mammalian mutagenicity assays, and which also show chemical structure activity relationship to known germ cell mutagens, shall be considered for this classification category.

Based on the results of the in vitro salmonella and in vivo micronucleus mutagenicity tests, it is concluded that the substance did not induce gene mutations in the strains of Salmonella typhimurium and in mouse respectively used.

Therefore, the substance does not meet the criteria to be classified for genetic toxicity according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008).
