Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

According to a cited reference (Müller, A.J. (1965) Arabinopsis Inf. Serv., 2, 22 - 24), the highest negative concentration of DEC is 500 mM. Further details were not provided.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative since no positive finding was reported
According to this Klimisch 4 information, the plant Arabinopsis thaliana showed no mutagenicity up to a concentration of 500 mM. further information was not provided.
Executive summary:

Rédei (1982) cited a publication from Müller (Müller, A.J. (1965) Arabinopsis Inf. Serv., 2, 22 - 24) in which the mutagenic potential of DEC on the plant Arabinopsis thaliana was evaluated. No experimental details were provided. It was stated that the highest concentration without mutagenic effects was 500 mM. Due to the very limited information on test material, experimental design, results and evaluation it is not possible to evaluate the relevance of this information. Therefore, this information was regarded as Klimisch 4 and will not be used for the risk assessment of DEC.
