Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification for mutagenicity under Regulation 1272/2008 is warranted for substances which cause concern for humans owing to the possibility that they may induce heritable mutations in the germ cells of humans. The classification in Category 2 is based on:

— positive evidence obtained from experiments in mammals and/or in some cases from in vitro experiments, obtained from:

— somatic cell mutagenicity tests in vivo, in mammals; or

— other in vivo somatic cell genotoxicity tests which are supported by positive results from in vitro mutagenicity assays.

The test item is positive to the in vitro gene mutation in bacteria which triggers some tests at Annex IX level. A reliabale and adequate in vivo genetic toxicity test, OECD 486 UDS Assay, is available showing negative results that will be supported by the results of a testing proposal for a Comet Assay OECD 489 on the substance itself.

Also an in vivo micronucleus OECD 474 is available on the analogue substance showing negative results.

Based on the current available information, the substance is not considered mutagenic and a review of the classification will be performed once the OECD 489 results are available.
