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.

Description of key information

The substance 3,4-dihydropyran was not mutagenic in a bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test).

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

The substance 3,4 -dihydropyran was tested for its mutagenic potential based on the ability to induce point mutations in selected loci of several bacterial strains, i.e. Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, in a reverse mutation assay.

According to the results of the study, the test substance did not lead to an increase in the number of revertant colonies either without S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system in two experiments carried out independently of each other (standard plate test and preincubation assay).

Thus, under the experimental conditions chosen, it is concluded that 3,4 -dihydropyran is not a mutagenic agent in a bacterial reverse mutation test in vitro. [BASF, 1999]


Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on negative results of the Ames tests, the criteria for classification according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 are not met.
