Administrative data
Description of key information
In the studies described, Dichloroacetyl chloride had no significant carcinogenicity.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the Directive 67/548/EC, since the substance Dichloroacetyl chloride contains an impurity classified as Carc. Cat. 2, R45 in a concentration above 0.1%, the substance is classified as Carc. Cat. 2, R45.
According to the CLP Regulation, since the substance Dichloroacetyl chloride contains an impurity classified as Carc. Cat. 1B in a concentration above 0.1%, the substance is classified as Carc. Cat. 1B.
Additional information
In the studies described, Dichloroacetyl chloride had no significant carcinorgenicity. The substance contains the following impurities which are classified as follows according to Directive 67/548/EC:
- 0.2 % trichloromethane (CAS 67 -66 -3): Carc. Cat. 3, R40
- 0.9 % 1,1,2-trichloroethene (CAS 79 -01 -6): Carc. Cat. 2, R45
Since the substance Dichloroacetyl chloride contains an impurity classified as Carc. Cat. 2, R45 in a concentration above 0.1%, the substance is classified as Carc. Cat. 2, R45.
According to the CLP Regulation, the impurities mentioned above are classified as follows:
- 0.2 % trichloromethane (CAS 67 -66 -3): Carc. Cat. 2
- 0.9 % 1,1,2-trichloroethene (CAS 79 -01 -6): Carc. Cat. 1B
Since the substance Dichloroacetyl chloride contains an impurity classified as Carc. Cat. 1B in a concentration above 0.1%, the substance is classified as Carc. Cat. 1B.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
