Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

One Key study, the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation test was available (Thompson et. al., 1983).


The study was determined to be a Klimisch 2 score, and outcome was negative. As such, no further testing wass required under the testing strategy for Mutagenicity. The substance is therefore not classified for genetic toxicity according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
