Additional information on results:
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: To set the dose levels for the main test, the 50 mg/mL solution was diluted 6 times using a common ratio of 4 and a total of 7 dose levels were selected (1.22, 4.88, 19.5, 78.1, 313, 1250 and 5000 µg/plate) in the dose-finding test. Precipitation on the plate and coloration by the test substance in the test systems were not observed at any dose levels with or without metabolic activation. Growth inhibition was investigated by observing the bacterial background lawn using a stereoscopic microscope. Growth inhibition was observed at 1250 µg/plate and above for TA1535 and 1537 with and without metabolic activation, and at 5000 µg/plate for TA100, TA98 and WP2uvrA with and without metabolic activation. Therefore, for the main test the maximum dose, the minimum dose at which growth inhibition was observed, was set at 1250 µg/plate in TA1535 and TA1537 with and without metabolic activation and set at 5000 µg/plate in TA100, TA98 and WP2uvrA with or without metabolic activation. A total of 6 dose levels were selected by diluting 5 times at a common ratio of 2.

Additional information

Additional information from genetic toxicity in vitro:

Genetic toxicity in vitro

The test item was investigated for mutagenicity to bacteria according to the OECD TG 471 and in compliance with GLP (Oguma, 2013).

A dose-finding test was conducted initially with concentrations between 1.22 and 5000 µg/plate. The minimum dose which showed growth inhibition in the test was then selected as the maximum dose for the main test. In the main pre-incubation experiment (2 plates per concentration) the test material was tested in S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and in E. coli WP2 uvrA up to limit concentration of 5000 µg.plate with and without a metabolic activation system, except for TA1535 and TA1537 strain which were tested up to cytotoxic concentration of 1250 µg/plate. No significant increase in the number of revertants was observed in any of the tested strains with and without metabolic activation in the dose-finding test or the main test. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were included into the test and gave the expected results. Hence, the test item was considered to be not mutagenic to bacteria under the conditions of the test.

Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint

There is only one study available

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 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
