Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Negative results were reported in in vitro assay for gene mutation (EMEA1) in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, as well as negative results reported in the in vitro assay for forward point mutation on HPRT lucus (EMEA2).Controversial results were obtained in the in vitro chromosomal aberration assay (EMEA3).
The in vivo reported assay (EMEA4) on micronucleus test was considered as negative result from the source of data.
Finally, the reported in silico method, performed with DEREK and MC4PC software, showed to give negative resuls about the genotoxicity of Betamethasone.
Short description of key information:
Experimental, both in vitro and in vivo, as well as in silico results were reported. Some data remain controversial, but evidence of negative results were reported in very reliable source of data.
Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation 1272/2008/EC, classification is not necessary for genetic toxicity based on the available data.
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.
