Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Short description of key information:

No considered to be genotoxic.  

Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

The weight of evidence from structurally similar substances of the same read-across category suggests that ‘glycerides, C16-22 (SDA Reporting Number: 21-001-00)’ is unlikely to exhibit genotoxic activity in bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assays, in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration tests with Chinese hamster ovary cells and/or an in vivo mouse micronucleus or chromosomal aberration assay. Further, predictions from the Danish QSAR database and Toxtree (v.1.6) did not reveal any evidence for genotoxic activity in either in vitro bacterial or mammalian cell systems orin vivo test systems.

The above evidence, added to the very long history of safe use of these substances in nutritional (food and feed), cosmetic and industrial uses, suggests that ‘glycerides, C16-22 (SDA Reporting Number: 21-001-00)’ does not have a mutagenic potential.

Based on the above information, the substance does not qualify for mutagenicity classification according to Directive 67/548 EC or Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
