Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

No carcinogenicity study is required, since the substance is not mutagenic and no hyperplasia or pre-neoplastic lesions were observed in any of the available repeated dose studies.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on expert judgement, a testing proposal for a carcinogenicity study for Atmer 163 is not scientifically justified. The conclusion with regard to classification and labelling according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 for carcinogenicity is "data lacking".

Additional information

There are no carcinogenicity studies available for Atmer 163.

According to the REACH regulation (1907/2006/EC), a carcinogenicity study may be proposed by the registrant or may be required by the Agency in accordance with Articles 40 or 41 if the substance has a widespread dispersive use or there is evidence of frequent or long-term human exposure, and the substance is classified as mutagen category 3 or there is evidence from repeated dose studies that the substance is able to induce hyperplasia and/or pre-neoplastic lesions.

There is no evidence that Atmer 163 causes carcinogenicity by a direct genotoxic mechanism, as the results of all genotoxicity studies were negative. Furthermore, in all available repeated dose toxicity studies, no evidence for hyperplasia or preneoplastic lesions was seen.

Thus, a proposal for a carcinogenicity study is scientifically neither required nor justified.
