Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 min
- Exposure duration: at least 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: three plates

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:
A test item is considered positive if a dose related increase in the number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice or thrice the colony count of the corresponding solvent control is observed at more than one concentration. Furthermore, a biologically relevant and reproducible increase exceeding the threshold at one test concentration is considered as positive.
A test item producing neither a dose related increase in the number of revertants nor a biologically relevant positive response at any one of the test points is considered nonmutagenic in this system.
A biologically relevant response is described as follows:
An increase is considered relevant if in the strains TA98, TA 100, and WP2 uvrA the number of reversions will be at least twice as high and in the strains TA 1535 and TA 1537 at least three times higher as compared to the spontaneous reversion rate.
Also, a dose-dependent and reproducible increase in the number of revertants is regarded as an indication of possibly existing mutagenic potential of the test item regardless whether the highest dose induced the above described enhancement factors or not.
Statistics:
No statistical evaluation of the data is required.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In experiment I (plate incorporation test), no toxic effects were observed with and without metabolic activation. In experiment II (pre-incubation test), a minor toxic effect was observed in the presence of metabolic activation in strain TA 98 at 5000 µg/plate. No toxic effects were observed in the remaining strains.

No precipitation of the test item occurred up to the highest investigated dose.
