Observations:
In the PRELIMINARY TEST the exposure period were 4 h. with S9 mix, and 4 hrs and 22 hrs without S9 mix.

The test article was assayed at the following dosage levels of 17, 30, 52, 91, 159, 278, 487, 852, 1491 and 2610 mg/mL with S9 mix ( 4 hrs exposure periods); 81.6, 163.1, 326.3, 652.5, 1305 and 2610 mg/L without S9 mix (4 hrs exposure period); 25, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 300 without S9 mix
(22hrs exposure period).
On the basis of the mitotic index reduction the following doses were selected for metaphases analysis:
exposure period of 4 hours (with S9 mix) 487, 852, 1491 and 2610 mg/L;
exposure period of 4 hours (without S9 mix) 326.3, 1305 and 2610 mg/L. Exposure period of 22 h (without S9 mix) 150, 200 and 300 mg/L.

In the MAIN TEST the exposure periods were 4 h with and without S9 mix.

The test article was assayed at the dosage levels of 163.1, 326.3, 652.5, 1305 and 2610 mg/L with and without S9 mix.
On the basis of the mitotic index reduction the following doses were selected for metaphases analysis: 326.3, 652.5 and 1305 mg/L with and withoutS9 mix.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

According to Directive 67/548/EEC and to Regulation (EC) n. 1272/2008, the substance should not be classified for mutagenicity.
