Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the only available information taken from the MSDS on methyl cyanoacetate by Evonik, the test item is not mutagenic to bacteria. Thus, no classification according to the EU Directive 67/548/EEC and to the CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 is needed.
