Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The test substance 3,4,5 -Trimethoxytoluole was tested for mutagenicity in the Salmonella typhimurium / Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay both in the standard plate test and in the preincubation test with and without the addition of a metabolizing system (S9 mix) obtained from rat liver using the Salmonella strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA (BASF AG, 2007).

The test substance did not lead to an increase in the number of revertant colonies either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system in two experiments carried out independently of each other (standard plate test and preincubation assay).


Short description of key information:
Genetic toxicity in vitro: Salmonella typhimurium / Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay (standard plate test and preincubation test).
BASF SE, 2003: 40M0633/024142 according to OECD Guideline 471, GLP study - not genotoxic.
Genetic toxicity in vivo: no data

Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

Due to the negative results obtained in th in vitro study, no classification according to EU and GHS criteria is required.
