Details on test system and experimental conditions:
The study included a Preliminary Solubility Test, a Preliminary Range Finding Test (Informatory Toxicity Test), an Initial Mutation Test (Plate Incorporation Test), and a Confirmatory Mutation Test (Pre-Incubation Test).In the preliminary Range Finding Test as well as in the Initial Mutation Test the plate incorporation method was used.
Evaluation criteria:
A test item is considered mutagenic if:- a dose–related increase in the number of revertants occurs and/or;- a reproducible biologically relevant positive response for at least one of the dose groups occurs in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation.An increase is considered biologically relevant if:- in strain Salmonella typhimurium TA100 the number of reversions is at least twice as high as the reversion rate of the vehicle control;- in strain TA98, TA1535, TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA the number of reversions is at least three times higher than the reversion rate of the vehicle control.

Additional information on results:
Signs of cytotoxicity has been observed in all tested strains without exogenous metabolic activation. The 1600 μg/plate was found to be the lowest cytotoxic concentration, observed in the Confirmatory Mutation Test in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100, without S9 Mix.No biologically relevant increases were observed in revertant colony numbers of any of the five test strains following treatment with diethyl ethylmalonate (CAS No. 133-13-1) at any concentration level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9 Mix) in the performed experiments.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In conclusion, the test item diethyl ethylmalonate (CAS No. 133-13-1) has no mutagenic activity on the applied bacterium tester strains under the test conditions used in this study.
