Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
An Ames test followiing OECD 471 is available on a similar substance 5 and negative.
The results of the mammalian cell gene mutation assay (OECD 476) and the in vivo micronucleous assay (OECD 474), made on the similar substance 2, are both negative.
In addiction also the in vivo micronucleus (bone marrow) test, made on similar substance 4, following NTP guideline, showed negative results.
Based on these tests, the Direct Black 80:1 could be considered as not mutagenic.
Short description of key information:
Not mutagenic
Justification for classification or non-classification
This hazard class is primarily concerned with substances that may cause mutations in the germ cells of humans that can be transmitted to the progeny. However, the results from mutagenicity or genotoxicity tests in vitro and in mammalian somatic and germ cells in vivo are also considered in classifying substances and mixtures within this hazard class.
For the purpose of classification for germ cell mutagenicity, substances are classified if there is at least 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.
The presented results from in vivo and the in vitro tests are negative, therefore it is concluded that Direct Black 80:1 is not genotoxic with or without metabolic activation
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.
