Additional information

The genetic toxicity of the substance is evaluated by considering data on the similar substances. Justification for Read Across is given in Section 13 of IUCLID.

The similar substance was tested in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay with four histidine-requiring strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay with a tryptophan-requiring strain of Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA). The test was performed in two independent experiments in the presence and absence of S9-mix (rat liver S9-mix induced by a combination of phenobarbital and ß-naphthoflavone) and did not induce a significant dose-related increase in the number of revertant (His+) colonies in any of the four tester strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) or in the number of revertant (Trp+) colonies in tester strain WP2uvrA both in the absence and presence of S9-metabolic activation.

Furthermore another substance was tested for chromosomal aberration on human lymphocytes and no effects on the number of polyploid cells and cells with endoreduplicated chromosomes were observed both in the absence and presence of S9-mix. It does not disturb mitotic processes and cell cycle progression and does not induce numerical chromosome aberrations under the experimental conditions described in this report.

Read across from other similar substancesn indicate the substances are non-mutagenic (per the Ames Test) and non-clastogenic to human lymphocytes in vitro (per the Chromosome Abberation Test).
Gene mutation has been also tested on the analogous substance with negative results and based on the outcome of the study, it can be concluded that the substance has no effects on genetic toxicity.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is not classified for genetic toxicity following CLP criteria set out in the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
