Carcinogenicity
Administrative data
Description of key information
L-lysine HCl was not genotoxic in any of the in vitro tests performed and no (pre)-neoplastic effects were seen in the 90-day studies performed. Moreover, lysine is an essential amino acid that is required for normal functioning of humans. Therefore, the carcinogenicity study can be waived.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the information available L-lysine HCl is not a genotoxic carcinogen and therefore no classification(67/548/EEC and CLP regulation) as carcinogen is required.
