Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance was negative for mutagenicity in bacterial cells. It was positive for the induction of structural and negative for the induction of numerical chromosome aberrations in mammalian cell culture. In vivo, the test substance was negative by two measures of clastogenicity, micronucleus and chromosome aberrations. Genetoxicity also proved negative in two additional in vivo tests, induction of DNA repair by the test substance, and DNA damage by a structural analogue. Based on an assessment of the robust genetic toxicity data for this substance and its structural analogue, the substance does not need to be classified for mutagenicity according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
