Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions described, the test substance was not mutagenic in the Ames test using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and TA102 with and without metabolic activation.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
There is only one study available. This study is sufficient to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VII, 8.4 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, there is no indication that the substance induces genetic toxicity. Nevertheless, no final decision on classification for genetic toxicity according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 can be made, as no information on chromosomal aberration and mutagenicity in mammalian cells/in vivo is available.
