Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The original sources of test substances in A1) and B1) tests are Nippon Shokubai and the original sources in A2) and B2) tests are other company. So, the result may be affected by the impurities in the test substance. However as this cannot be definitively proved, an appropriate in-vivo somatic cell genotoxicity study is being performed as triggered by REACH Annex VIII Section 8.4 Column 2.

B1) in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration test

 negative

test concentration: <= 5 ug/plate

B2) in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration test

Positive at the additional high concentration test without metabolic activation

 

This positive result is considered as equivocal due to these positive findings generated only at fighly toxic/cytotoxic concentrations. (REACH Guidance R.7a R.7.4.1)

Daihachi Chemical Industry>99.2%

C) in vivo micronucleus study

Negative at toxic doses

Short description of key information:
Genetic toxicity data (Amest and Chromosome aberration) show negative with the test sample provided by NIPPON SHOKUBAI.
Genetic toxicity data (Amest and Chromosome aberration) show positive with the test sample provided by Daihachi Chemical. The positive result is considered as equivocal due to these positive findings generated only at highly toxic/cytotoxic concentrations. (REACH Guidance R.7a R.7.4.1)

As recommended in the REACH Guidance R.7a Table R.7.7-1, appropriate in vivo mutagenicity studies has been considered in case of another submitter whose purity is different from above 2 samples. The in vivo micronucleus study showed a negative result.

Therefore, PMI is considered as non-mutagenic.

Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is not considered as mutagenic, and is therefore not classified in accordance with GHS.
