Evaluation criteria:

Criteria for a positive response:
The test substance is considered to be positive in this test system if one or both of the following conditions are met:
- at least a reproducible doubling of the mean number of revertants per plate above that of the negative control at any concentration level for one or more of the following strains: TA 98, TA 1535, TA 1537 and E. coli
- a reproducible increase of the mean number of revertants per plate for any concentration above that of the negative control by at least a factor of 1.5 for strain TA 100.
Generally a concentration-related effect should be demonstrable.
Assay acceptance criteria:
A test is considered acceptable if the mean colony counts of the control values of all strains are within the acceptable ranges and if the results of the positive controls meet the criteria for a positive response.
In either case the final decision has to be based on scientific judgement.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
Nine concentrations of the test item ranging from 20 to 5000 µg/0.1 ml were tested to determine the highest concentration to be used in the mutagenicity assay. From the results obtained, the highest concentration suitable for the mutagenicity test was found to be 5000 µg/0.1 ml.

Additional information

Gene mutation (Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay/Ames test)

There is one gene mutation supporting study (Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay/Ames test) with the substance available. There is one gene mutation key study (Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay/Ames test) available (read-across to UV123 (CAS No. 129757-67-1)).

In a reverse gene mutation study in bacteria (84/449/EWG, B.14/GLP), strains of S. typhimurium TA 98, 100, 1535, 1537 were exposed to the substance in acetone at concentrations of 20 - 5000 μg/plate with and without metabolic activation (Aroclor-induced rat-liver S9). As this study has only 4 strains, it is a supporting study. There was no increase in induced mutant colonies over background either with and without metabolic activation. Under the conditions of this study, the substance is considered non-mutagenic.

In a reverse gene mutation study in bacteria (OECD 471/GLP), strains of S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2 were exposed to UV123 in acetone at concentrations of 313, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate (plate incorporation method for both experiments) with and without metabolic activation (Aroclor-induced rat-liver S9). As this study has 5 strains, it is the key study. There was no cytotoxicity noted up to the limit dose. The positive controls gave the appropriate response. There was no increase in induced mutant colonies over background either with and without metabolic activation. Under the conditions of this study, UV-123 is considered non-mutagenic.

The target substance is also predicted to be negative in this assay.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information in the dossier, the substance does not need to be classified for germ cell mutagenicity when the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC are applied, based on the read-across data from UV123 (CAS No.129757-67-1).
