Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
Femoral erythrocytes
Evaluation criteria:
1) Negative controls are in the range of historical control data (0.01 - 0.15 %; mean = 0.066 + 0.032 PCEs with micronuclei).
2) Positive controls are in the range of historical control data (0.91 - 2.975 %; mean = 1.644 + 0.446 PCEs with micronuclei).
3) > 80 % of animals are evaluable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Negative: did not induce micronuclei in bone marrow cells of the mouse, thus, the substance is non-mutagenic in the in vivo erythrocyte micronucleus test.
