DURATION
- Exposure duration: 2 days


NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicate for each dose group, six replicates for the solvent controls and three replicates for positive control.



DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY

- Method: other: reduced or no bacterial background lawn, microcolonies of bacteria instead of a homogenous background lawn, clearly reduced number of revertant colonies.

Evaluation criteria:
A result would be considered positive if there was a reproducible increase in the number of revertants to more than 2.5 fold for strains TA98 and TA1538 and more than 1.33 fold for TA97a, TA100 and TA102.
Statistics:
The number of revertant colonies was counted by hand in strains TA98 and TA1535 and by a computer program in strains TA97a, TA100 and TA102. The mean and standard deviation of replicate results were calculated.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS

- Precipitation: A precipitate was visible at 556 μg/plate samples and above. The precipitate was still visible at 5000 μg/plate when the colonies were counted but did not impede the counting.

- Other confounding effects: the substance is known to be ready biodegradable.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: see Table 2


COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: numbers of spontaneous revertants are comparable with the historic control data for the negative controls.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test substance did not produce an increase in the number of revertants in S. typhimurium (strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535) when tested under GLP to OECD 471 (2000). The test material was therefore considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
