Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
4-Aminobenzonitrile did not increase the number of revertant colonies in different tester strains of S-typhimuium compared to the negativ control when tested up to bacteriotoxic concentraions. Furthermore, metabolic activation by S9 mix did not alter the mutation frequency of these bacterial strains. All values were clearly within the historical background data.
