- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

Experiment II (pre-incubation test): 309, 652, 1262, 2540, and 5008 ug/plate - Vehicle / solvent:
- - Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: Deionised water
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test item was not sufficiently soluble in the accepted solvents for the Ames-test. Therefore, suspensions were prepared. The test item was autoclaved and suspended in deionised water. Water was chosen, because the test item could be suspended completely, and this solvent doesn't have any effects on the viability of the bacteria or the number of spontaneous revertants. The suspensions were stirred during the test.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: A reduction of the bacterial background lawn or a reduction of the revertant colonies. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test item is considered to have mutagenic potential, if a significant, reproducible increase of revertant colonies per plate (increase factor ≥ 2) in at least one strain can be observed. A concentration-related increase over the range tested can also be taken as a sign of mutagenic activity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation
The test item did not show mutagenic effects in both experiments. The number of revertant colonies was not increased in comparison with the spontaneous revertants (solvent only). Cytotoxicity of the test item was not detected. The background lawn was visible and the number of revertants was not significantly decreased. Therefore it can be stated, that under the test conditions, the test item crystalline calcium silicate hydrates (xonotlite - tobermorite) is not mutagenic in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535. - Executive summary:
The mutagenic potential of crystalline calcium silicate hydrates (xonotlite - tobermorite) was determined in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test following OECD 471 and EU B.13/14. Two valid experiments were performed. In the first experiment 5 concentrations of the test item, suspended in deionised water were used (50, 148, 497, 1508, and 5007 ug/plate). Five genetically manipulated strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535) were exposed to the test item both in the presence and in the absence of a metabolic activation system (S9) for 48 hours, using the plate incorporation method. None of the concentrations caused a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies in the tested strains. The test item didn't show any mutagenic effects in the first experiment. No signs of toxicity towards the bacteria could be observed. The determined values for the spontaneous revertants of the negative controls were in the normal range. All positive controls showed mutagenic effects with and without metabolic activation.
To verify the results of the first experiment a second experiment was performed, using 5 concentrations of the test item (309, 652, 1262, 2540, and 5008 ug/plate) and a modification in study performance (pre-incubation method). The test item didn't show mutagenic effects in the second experiment, either. No signs of toxicity towards the bacteria could be observed. The determined values for the spontaneous revertants of the negative controls were in the normal range. All positive controls showed mutagenic effects with and without metabolic activation.
Under the conditions of the test, the test item didn't show mutagenic effects towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535. Therefore, no concentration-effect relationship could be determined. The test item crystalline calcium silicate hydrates (xonotlite - tobermorite) is considered as not mutagenic under the conditions of the test.
