Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information
The substance is considered NON mutagen because AMES tests (on TA 98, TA 100 and WP2 uvr A) do not show any mutagen effect.
Link to relevant study records
Reference
Endpoint:
in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria
Remarks:
Type of genotoxicity: gene mutation
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
A reliable secondary source, summarising p-chlorophenylacetic acid, was used. However the primary sources were not revisited in order to verify their contents; for this reason reliability score 2 was used. The used secondary source has been updated on 2012; therefore it covers the most updated literature on the substance.
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
No data
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of assay:
bacterial reverse mutation assay

Species / strain:
S. typhimurium TA 98
Metabolic activation:
not specified
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
not specified
Species / strain:
S. typhimurium TA 100
Metabolic activation:
not specified
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
not specified
Species / strain:
E. coli WP2 uvr A
Metabolic activation:
not specified
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
not specified
Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test material did not produce any mutagen effects.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

Additional information from genetic toxicity in vitro:

The Ames test predicted and experimented do not show any mutagen toxicity. Therefore, according to Directive 67/548/EEC and to Regulation (EC) n. 1272/2008, the substance should not be classified for mutagenicity.


Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
The secondary source based on structural analogue is more reliable than QSAR studies.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Directive 67/548/EEC and to Regulation (EC) n. 1272/2008, the substance should not be classified for mutagenicity.
