Evaluation criteria:
Ensure that the criteria of validity of the study are well respected namely:
- the bacteriostatic activity of the highest concentration tested shall be equal to or less than 75 %,
- the spontaneous reversion rate of the absolute negative controll shall comply with the historical values of the laboratory,
- the spontaneous reversion rate of the solvent shall not be statistically differnet from absolute negative controll,
- the mean number of revertant colonies obtained for each strain and the corresponding positive control, with and/or without metabolic activation shall comply with the historical values of the laboratory.
- Negative and positive values should not show significant difference with the historical values of the laboratory (+/- 2 stabdard deviatons).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Doses (5000, 1500, 500, 150 and 50 µg/plate) performed from solutions of the test item 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide Batch 25PI208_12; PA204 (LEMI code: GOL210817), provided by proionic GmbH, do ot induce any mutagenic change in Salmonell typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and in Escherichia coli WP2(uvrA-) (pKM 101) without, or with metabolic activation, according to the OECD Guidelines n°471.
Executive summary:

Solutions, prepared with 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, have been tested for their capacity to induce reverse mutation in four Salmonell typhimurium strains and one Escherichia coli WP2(uvr A-)(pkM101) strain. This study was performed in the absence and presence of metabolic activation. Two independent assays were carried out.

For assay n° 1, various concentrations of the prepared solution were put in contact with strains in the absence and presence of a metabolic activation system (S9 -mix 10% (v/v)).

For assay n° 2, various concentrations of the prepared solution were put in contact with strains in the absence of metabolic activation and with pre-incubation in the presence of metabolic activation system (S9 -mix 10% (v/v)).

For the two assays, negative and positive controls were carrid out in paralell. Positive controls induce a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies compared to negative controls. There is no significant difference between the number of spontaneous reversions, the number of reversions obtained in the positive controls (without and with metabolic activation), and the mean of corresponting experimental "historical" values obtained in the labaratory.

These results validate the two tests.

There is no evidence of any increase in the number of revertant colonies in the presence of various concentration of the test item (5000, 1500, 500, 150 and 50 µg/plate), without and with metabolic activation in

Salmonell typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and in Escherichia coli WP2(uvrA-)(pkM 101).
