Any other information on results incl. tables

The number of revertants for the vehicle and positive controls was as specified in the acceptance criteria. The study was therefore considered valid.

Since the test item was freely soluble and non-toxic, the highest selected dose-level was 5000 µg/plate, according to the criteria specified in the international guidelines.

Experiments without S9 mix

The selected treatment-levels were 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate for both mutagenicity experiments.

A moderate emulsion was observed in the Petri plates when scoring the revertants at dose-levels > 2500 µg/plate.

No noteworthy toxicity was noted at any dose-levels in any of the five strains used.

The test item did not induce any noteworthy increase in the number of revertants, in any of the five strains.

Experiments with S9 mix.

The selected treatment-levels were:

. 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate for the first and second mutagenicity experiments,

. 625, 1250, 1875, 2500, 3750 and 5000 µg/plate for the third experiment.

A moderate emulsion was observed in the Petri plates when scoring the revertants at dose-levels > 2500 µg/plate.

No noteworthy toxicity was noted at any dose-levels in any of the five strains used.

Slight increase in the number of revertants were observed in the TA 1535, TA 98 and TA 100 strains in the second experiment (preincubation method). Since they were neither observed in the first experiment using the direct plate incorporation method, no reproduced in the third confirmatory experiment using the preincubation method and a closer range of dose-levels, these increases were not considered as biologically relevant.

Under our experimental conditions, the test item URETHANE RESIN M2001 did not show any mutagenic activity in the bacterial reverse mutation test with Salmonella typhimurium.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
