Remarks:
Migrated from field 'Test system'.

A bacteriotoxic effect of the test substance was observed in the standard plate test and in the preincubation assay in E. coli from 100 µg/plate onward. Bacteriotoxicity towards S. typhimurium was observed in the standard plate test and the preincubation assay depending on strain and test conditions from 333 µg/plate onward.

Test substance was found to precipitate depending on the test conditions from 1000 µg/plate onward, independent of the presence or absence of S9 mix.

The first standard plate test conducted without S9 mix was repeated with lower concentrations due to bactericidal effects of the test substance at higher doses.

Additional information

Additional information from genetic toxicity in vitro:

Ames test was conducted as standard plate test and preincubation test, testing up to bacteriotoxic concentrations did not lead to increased number of revertant colonies either in the absence or presence of metabolic activation.


Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
GLP- and guideline-conformant study

Justification for classification or non-classification

Since 1,3,5 -Benzenetricarboxylic acid was not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation test, non-classification is warranted.
