Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No evidence of a genotoxic effect was detected in the Ames Salmonella, chromosome aberration, mouse lymphoma, or sister-chromatid exchange tests (McGregor et al., 1988; NTP, 1986; Wagner & Klug, 1998). No cytogenic changes were observed in the bone marrow of rats (parents and offspring) undergoing a one-generation reproduction test using FR-300-BA (Norris et al., 1975).

(a) Conducted in compliance with the US Food and Drug Administration’sGood Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies(FDA, 2002), the US EPA’sGood Laboratory Practice Standards(EPA, 1989, 1996), the United Kingdom’sGLP Compliance Programme, the Japanese GLP Standards, and the OECD’sPrinciples on Good Laboratory Practice(OECD, 1998).

ND = not determined.


Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

DecaBDE has been tested in a number of genetic toxicity tests: in vitro - Ames, Mouse lymphoma, Sister Chromatid Exchange, Chromosome Aberration, in vivo - Bone Marrow cytogenics. All studies showed an absence of genotoxicity.
