Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
genetic toxicity in vivo, other
Remarks:
In vivo Single Cell Gel/Comet Assay
Type of information:
experimental study planned
Justification for type of information:
TESTING PROPOSAL ON VERTEBRATE ANIMALS

NON-CONFIDENTIAL NAME OF SUBSTANCE:
- Name of the substance on which testing is proposed to be carried out : Base terpenica
- Name of the substance for which the testing proposal will be used [if different from tested substance] : N/A

CONSIDERATIONS THAT THE GENERAL ADAPTATION POSSIBILITIES OF ANNEX XI OF THE REACH REGULATION ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO GENERATE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION:
- Available GLP studies : Not available.
- Available non-GLP studies : Not available.
- Historical human data: Not available.
- (Q)SAR: Not available.
- In vitro methods: In vitro methods are possitive
- Weight of evidence : Not available.
- Grouping and read-across : Not available. Substance UVCB.

CONSIDERATIONS THAT THE SPECIFIC ADAPTATION POSSIBILITIES OF ANNEXES VI TO X (AND COLUMN 2 THEREOF) OF THE REACH REGULATION ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO GENERATE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION:
- One of the in vitro studies of genetic toxicity is positive, so according annex XI of REACH Regulation it is necessary to carry out an in vivo assay.
