Description of key information
The test substance was tested in an Ames test at concentrations of 1.5 to 1500 ug/plate (cytotoxicity observed) in the salmonella strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 (Harlan 2013). The concentrations in the test on E. coli WP2 uvr A were 15 -5000 ug/plate. At 1500 and 5000 ug/plate a greasy precipitate was observed, that did not hamper the evaluation. In a plate incorporation and a pre-incubation assay (both performed in triplicate) with and without metabolic activation, the test substance did not induce mutations (base-pair substitution and frame-shift type) in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537, as well as in E. coli WP2 uvr. The test substance was tested in a chromosome aberration assay in human lymphocytes according to OECD 473 (1997) (Harlan 2015). Duplicate cultures were exposed for 4 (with and without metabolic activation) and 24 hours (without metabolic activation) with a 20 h expression time in two separate experiments. Heamolysis and/or precipitate was observed at concentrations of 78 ug/mL and above. Scoring for aberrations revealed no increases in the number of cells with aberrations. In addition no increased number of polyploid cells was observed in any of the treatments. Vehicle and positive controls were within expected (historical) ranges. The test substance is considered to be non-clastogenic to human lymphocytes in vitro. The test substance was tested in L5178Y cells in presence and absence of metabolic activation in a study performed according to OECD 476. In both experiments the test substance did not induce an increase in mutant frequency at the TK +/- locus and is therefore considered to be non-mutagenic.

Additional information
Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
guideline studies under GLP
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on genetic toxicity of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
