OECD Guideline 473 (In vitro Mammalian Chromosome Aberration Test)

OECD Guideline 476 (In vitro Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Test)

In all of these tests negative results were obtained.

L-tryptophan has also been tested negative in vivo assays.


Short description of key information:
Genetic toxicity:
- in vitro: negative (OECD 471); negative (OECD 473); negative (OECD 476)

Justification for classification or non-classification

Due to the negative results obtained in studies both in vitro and in vivo, no classification according to EU and GHS criteria is required.
