- TEST PROCEDURE
Plate test without metabolic activation
0.1 ml of the appropriate dilution of the test solution and 0.1 ml of a bacterial suspension containing approximately 108 -109 cfu/ml were added in this sequence to 2 ml of molten top agar.
The ingredients were thoroughly mixed and immediately poured into plates containing minimal medium.
At the same time, negative control and positive controls using the chosen concentration of the reference mutagens were performed.
The plates were incubated at 37°C for 48 72 hours. After incubation the revertant colonies obtained in the plates were counted. Triplicate plates were used for the test material and two for the positive controls.
Plate test with metabolic activation
0.1 ml of the appropriate dilution of the test solution, 0.1 ml of bacterial suspensions and 0.5 ml of the metabolic activation system were added in this sequence to 2 ml of molten top agar.
The ingredients were thoroughly mixed and immediately poured into plates containing minimal medium.
At the same time, negative control and positive controls using the chosen concentration of the reference mutagens were performed.
The plates were incubated at 37°C for 48 72 hours. After incubation the revertant colonies obtained in the plates were counted.
Triplicate plates were used for the test material and two for the positive controls. - Evaluation criteria:
- ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
At the end of the assay, a sterility check on S9Mix must show less two viable colonies per 0.5 ml.
At the end of the test, a sterility check of the test material must show less than two viable colonies per plate.
The positive controls must produce at least a threefold increase in the number of revertant colonies with regard to the mean value for the respective negative control.
The mean number of spontaneous revertant colonies in the negative controls must correspond to the following values:

- Additional information on results:
- TEST MATERIAL MUTAGENICITY (Table n 1 and n 2 - see background attached info)
The test material induced the development of as many revertant colonies as those induced by the negative control, both in the absence and in presence of the rat liver metabolizing system, at the maximum dose tested (10 mg/plate).
CONTROLS
Preliminary tests
The genetic characteristics of the bacterial strains were found to be unaltered.
Test material toxicity
The test material did not induce toxic effects at a concentration oOf 10 mg/plate both in the absence and in presence of the metabolic activation system.
Negative control
The number of revert~~t colonies on the negative control plates fell within the normal range.
Positive control
All the positive controls induced a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies.
Sterility test
The sterility test performed on the test material and on S9Mix did not show any bacterial contamination. - Conclusions:
- The test material at maximum concentration 10 mg/petri dish produced an increase in number of revertant colonies similar to the negative control so the test material is unable to induce mutation under there conditions.
- Executive summary:
A test was performed to verify the mutagenic potential of the test material COSMACOL EOI on Salmonella typhimurium.
The test was carried out on 5 strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 , TA100).
The mutagenic activity of the material was assessed by comparing the number of revertant colonies induced with the positive control.
This activity was tested in the presence and absence of a metabolizing system and done directly in a petri dish. The test material was tested at a concentration of 100000 µg/ml, 10000 µg/ml , 1000 µg/ml, 100 µg/ml, 10 µg/ml corresponding to the dose 10000 µg/petri dish, 1000 µg/petri dish, 100 µg/petri dish, 10 µg/petri dish and 1 µg/petri dish.
The results of the study can be summarized as follows:
The test material at maximum concentration 10 mg/petri dish produced an increase in number of revertant colonies similar to the negative control so the test material is unable to induce mutation under there conditions.

- Additional information on results:
- Treatment of cells with C12-15 Alkyl Ethylhexanoate for 24+24 hours in the absence and presence of S-9 in the main test resulted in frequencies of MNBN cells that were not significantly higher (at the p≤0.05 level), compared to those observed in the concurrent vehicle controls, at any concentration analysed. The MNBN cell frequencies were within the 95th percentile of the observed historical control (normal) range at all concentrations analysed and there was no statistically significant linear trend.
Overall, it was conclude that C12-15 Alkyl Ethylhexanoate did not induce micronuclei in cultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes when tested up to the limit of solubility for 3+21 hours and 24+24 hours in the absence of S-9 and up to 2000 µg/mL (the maximum concentration for in vitro cytogenetics studies required by the regulatory test guidelines) for 3+21 hours in the presence of S-9 under the experimental conditions described. - Conclusions:
- The test material was determined not to be mutagenic under the conditions of the test.
- Executive summary:
In this guideline (OECD 487) study, conducted with GLP certification, EC 291-443-0 was considered not to be mutagenic under the conditions of the test.
Overall, it was conclude that the test material did not induce micronuclei in cultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes when tested up to the limit of solubility for 3+21 hours and 24+24 hours in the absence of S-9 and up to 2000µg/mL (the maximum concentration for in vitro cytogenetics studies required by the regulatory test guidelines) for 3+21 hours in the presence of S-9 under the experimental conditions described.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The registered substance failed to induce mutagenic reactions in any of the in vitro mutagenicity tests conducted. The registered substance is therefore considered not to fulfill the criteria for classification as a germ cell mutagen under the Classificaiton, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) regulation (1272/2008).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
