Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the substance was not clastogenic in Chinese hamster lung fibroblast V79 cells.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the in vitro genetic toxicity of the substance according to OECD Guideline 487, in compliance with GLP. Two independent experiments were performed in Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V79 cells). Cells were exposed to the test substance (diluted in water) at concentrations from 0 to 1600 µg/mL for either 4 or 24 h with and without metabolic activation (S9 mix). Cytotoxicity, indicated by a clearly reduced proliferation index, cell numbers or a low quality of the slides was observed in the absence of S9 mix at 700 µg/mL (1st experiment) and at 800 µg/mL (2nd and 3rd experiment). In the presence of S9 mix, cytotoxic effects were obtained 800 µg/mL onwards but only in the 2nd experiment. In the 1st experiment a single statistically significant increase in the number of micronucleated cells was observed at 700 µg/mL after 4 h exposure in the absence of metabolic activation. However, this finding was neither confirmed in the repeat experiment under similar conditions (3rd experiment) nor in any additional experiment under modified test conditions (24 h exposure in the absence of metabolic activation or 4 h exposure in the presence of metabolic activation). The finding was considered artifactual due to the strong cytotoxicity in this test group (RICC 41.4%). Under the study conditions, the substance was not clastogenic in Chinese hamster lung fibroblast V79 cells (BASF SE, 2013).
