Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
CELLS USED
- Type and source of cells: British Industrial Biological Research Association; obtained: 17 Aug 1987
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Type and composition of metabolic activation system:
- source of S9 : Cofactor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of male CD Sprague-Dawley rats (age: 6 - 8 weeks, weight: approx. 250 g) orally treated for 3 days with phenobarbitone/beta-naphthoflavone (80/100 mg/kg bw/day) in arachis oil as vehicle.
- date of preparation of S9 mix: 28 Oct 2018
- volume of S9 mix in the final culture medium: 0.5 mL
- quality controls of S9: enzymatic activity, sterility, metabolic capability: checked and certified
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Experiment 1 - Plate Incorporation Method: 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate
HIghest dose recommended in test guideline.

Experiment 2 - Pre-Incubation Method: 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate
Concentrations selected based on the results of Experiment 1.
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
- Supplier: ThermoFisher Scientific
- Batch number: 184106
- Purity: 99.9%
- Expiry: May 2023

- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Due to the fact that the test substance was only partially miscible with water, DMSO was selected as the vehicle.

DMSO
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Number of cultures per concentration and number of independent experiments: triplicates each in two independent experiments

METHOD OF TREATMENT / EXPOSURE:
- Test substance added in medium; in agar (plate incorporation, Experiment 1) and preincubation (Experiment 2)

TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Preincubation period: 20 min at 37 ± 3 °C (only Experiment 1)
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: 48 - 72 h at 37 ± 3 °C

METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: background growth inhibition

METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY
Genotoxicity in this reverse mutation assay was assessed by counting the number of revertant colonies compared to the negative controls.
Evaluation criteria:
Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:

1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested.
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. A fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for TA100, TA98 and WP2uvrA or a three-fold increase for TA1535 and TA1537 (especially if accompanied by an out of historical range response).
5. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS.

A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.
Statistics:
Statistical significance was confirmed by using Dunnetts Regression Analysis (p < 0.05) for those values that indicate statistically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies compared to the concurrent solvent control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative
Executive summary:

The available data on gene mutation in bacteria for reaction product of castor oil with glycerol do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP). The data provide not sufficient evidence that would imply a classification & labelling with respect to mutagenicity/genotoxicity. However, as no information regarding gene mutation in mammalian cells and cytogenicity or chromosome aberration in mammalian cells are available, the overall conclusion for classification regarding mutagenicity/genotoxicity is ‘data lacking’.
