Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
in vivo mammalian cell study: DNA damage and/or repair
Type of information:
experimental study planned
Study period:
The test will be conducted after a decision on the requirement to carry out the proposed test has been taken according to the procedure laid down in Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 and a deadline to submit the information required has been set by the Agency.
Justification for type of information:
TESTING PROPOSAL ON VERTEBRATE ANIMALS

NON-CONFIDENTIAL NAME OF SUBSTANCE:
- Name of the substance on which testing is proposed to be carried out : dimethoxy(dimethyl)silane, CAS 1112-39-6

CONSIDERATIONS THAT THE GENERAL ADAPTATION POSSIBILITIES OF ANNEX XI OF THE REACH REGULATION ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO GENERATE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION:
- Available GLP studies : no GLP in vivo genotoxicity studies are available for dimethoxy(dimethyl)silane
- Available non-GLP studies : no non-GLP in vivo genotoxicity studies are available for dimethoxy(dimethyl)silane
- Historical human data : no historical human data is available
- (Q)SAR : Q)SAR tools sufficiently addressing the endpoint genetic toxicity in vivo are currently not available.
- In vitro methods : Three in vitro studies are available: bacterial mutagenicity, mammalian cytogenicity and mammalian mutagenicity. Bacterial mutagenicity and mammalian cytogenicity showed negative results for the test substance. However, in the in vitro mammalian mutagenicity study according to OECD 490 and GLP positive results were observed with metabolic activation. Therefore, further evaluation of the mutagenic potential of dimethoxy(dimethyl)silane needs to be performed.
- Weight of evidence: There are no studies available on in vitro mammalian mutagenicity or in vivo mutagenicity with the registered substance which could be used in a weight of evidence approach.
- Grouping and read-across : No suitable read-across options are available on genetic toxicity.

CONSIDERATIONS THAT THE SPECIFIC ADAPTATION POSSIBILITIES OF ANNEXES VI TO X (AND COLUMN 2 THEREOF) OF THE REACH REGULATION ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO GENERATE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION:
- An in vitro mammalian mutagenicity assay according to OECD 490 indicated a mutagenic potential for the registered substance. In order to clarify this mutagenic potential an in vivo mutagenicity study is necessary according to standard information requirements according to Annex VIII, Column II, 8.4. No appropriate read-across substances are available.
