Carcinogenicity
Administrative data
Description of key information
In accordance with Section 1.2 of REACH Annex XI, there is sufficient weight of evidence from several independent sources of information leading to the conclusion that Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether does not exert carcinogenic effects and thus does not have to be classified, because it has no genotoxic properties and additionally, a 14 day inhalation toxicity study in rats and a 14 day/13 week drinking water study in mice with the major metabolite 2-Methoxyethanol did not reveal any neoplastic observations.
It can therefore be concluded with sufficient certainty that Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether will not cause carcinogenic effects and that testing is not scientifically necessary
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Carcinogenicity: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether does not have to be classified for carcinogenicity according to the criteria laid down in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC) because it has not genotoxic properties and carcinogenicity testing was considered not scientifically necessary.
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
