Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Two studies addressing genetic toxicity are available for RSS-4, dry substance: an Ames test (1996, rated Klimish 1) and a Mouse Micronucleus Test (1996, Klimish rated 1).

From the Ames test, it could be concluded that the test material RSS-4 did not exhibit any mutagenic activity under the conditions of the test.

The Mouse Micronucleus Test showed that no real indication of bone marrow toxicity,as evidenced by depression of bone marrow proliferation, was found in the group treated with RSS-4.
Additionally, under the conditions of test, there was no evidence of induced chromosomal or other damage leading to micronucleus formation in polychromatic erythrocytes of treated mice 24,48 or 72 hrs after oral administration of
RSS-4.


Short description of key information:
Both the available tests addressing genetic toxicity of the test substance (Ames test and a Mouse Micronucleus Test) had a negative outcome.

Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results from both the in vitro and the in vivo study, no classification (EC1272/2008) is required.
