Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Evaluation criteria:
Evalluation criteria

The test chemical is considered positive in this assay if the following criteria are met:

A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either withaut S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.


A test substance is generally considered nonmutagenic in this test if:

The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative
control range under all experimental co nditions in two experiments carried out
independently of each other.
