Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Read across the result is derived that Ashes (residues) – Biomass Combustion is not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay, in the mouse lymphoma assay and in the in vitro micronucleus assay in the presence and absence of metabolic activation up to the tested concentrations.

Mutagenic properties of Ashes (residues) – Biomass Combustion were derived by the read across method upon the similarity of Ashes (residues) and FBC Ash. The possibility of mutagenic properties estimation was based upon the similarity of substances (composition), test results (matching), identical classification and the same production technology.

Ashes (residues) – Biomass Combustion does not have to be classified for mutagenicity according to the criteria laid down in the EU Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) and in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC) because no mutagenic properties were derived for Ashes (residues) – Biomass Combustion by the read across method.

Executive summary:

Similarity based upon:

The substances in question are UVCB substances for which similarity based upon the structural similarity may not be used, however, the substances have similar production technology, similar usage and composition. Moreover, for all other properties, except estimated mutagenicity for Ashes (residues) – Biomass Combustion, tests were determined with identical or highly similar results.

Therefore, the possibility of mutagenic properties estimation is based upon the similarity of substances (composition), test results (matching), identical classification and the same production technology and consecutive usage.

Conclusion:

Read across the result is derived that Ashes (residues) – Biomass Combustionis not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay, in the mouse lymphoma assay and in the in vitro micronucleus assay in the presence and absence of metabolic activation up to the tested concentrations.
