Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification for mutagenicity is warranted for substances which cause concern for humans owing to the possibility that they may induce heritable mutations in the germ cells of humans

The classification in 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.

Based on the negative results of the in vivo tests on the similar substance,
OECD Guideline 474 (Mammalian Erythrocyte Micronucleus Test) and OECD Guideline 486 (Unscheduled DNA Synthesis (UDS) Test with Mammalian Liver Cells in vivo)  no classification for mutagenicity is applied following Regulation 1272/2008.
This classification will be confirmed after the results of the OECD Guideline 489 (In vivo Mammalian Alkaline Comet Assay).
