Description of key information

According to Column 2 of REACH Annex X, a carcinogenicity study may be required if the substance has a widespread dispersive use or there is evidence of frequent or long-term human exposure and the substance is classified as mutagen category 3 or there is evidence from the repeated dose study(ies) that the substance is able to induce hyperplasia and/or pre-neoplastic lesions.  Based on the available data, tungsten dioxide would not be classify as a mutagen.  No hyperplasia and/or pre-neoplastic lesions were identified in a 28-day repeated dose inhalation toxicity study on tungsten oxide (also known as tungsten blue oxide or TBO), which will be used for read-across. Therefore, a carcinogenicity study is not required for the registration under REACH.

Justification for classification or non-classification

No carcinogenicity data are available for tungsten dioxide. Therefore, classification cannot be made due to lack of data.
