Genetic toxicity: in vitro
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- in vitro cytogenicity / chromosome aberration study in mammalian cells
- Remarks:
- Type of genotoxicity: chromosome aberration
- Type of information:
- migrated information: read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- GLP - Guideline study, tested with the source substance CAS 112-85-6. In accordance to the ECHA guidance document "Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)", the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2 to reflect the fact that this study was conducted on a read-across substance.

- Precipitation: observed on the slide of continuous exposure high dose group
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: see 'Any other information on material and method incl. tables'
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: this test was valid, since the frequency of chromosomal aberration in positive control was within background data. - Remarks on result:
- other: all strains/cell types tested
- Remarks:
- Migrated from field 'Test system'.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
The test substance did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations in the absence or presence of an exogenous metabolic activation system.
