Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

No studies designed to investigate potential effects on reproduction/fertility are available on EMS. However, administration of up to 250 mg/kg bw/day of dimethyl sulphide, an analogous compound, 7 days/week, for up to 14 weeks, by gavage to rats (15/sex/group) did not affect the weights of the gonads or the microscopic appearance of the gonads (Butterworth et al., 1975).

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the available data on the source substance dimethyl sulphide and the criteria for classification as reprotoxic of Regulation 1272/2008/EEC, no classification is warranted for methyl ethyl sulphide.
