- Storage condition of test material: The stability of the test substance under storage conditions is guaranteed until 09 Mar 2017 as indicated by the sponsor,
and the sponsor holds this responsibility.
- Stability under test conditions: Room temperature

Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100

E. coli WP2 uvr A
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S9 Mix prepared from phenobarbital and β-naphthoflavone-treated male Wistar rats
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
In agreement with the recommendations of current guidelines 5 mg/plate or 5 μL/plate were generally selected as maximum test dose at least in the 1st Experiment.
1st Experiment: 0; 33; 100; 333; 1000; 2500 and 5000 μg/plate (Standard plate test)
2nd Experiment: 0; 33; 100; 333; 1000; 2500 and 5000 μg/plate (Preincubation test)

Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: ethanol
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Due to the insolubility of the test substance in water, ethanol was used as vehicle, which had been demonstrated to be suitable in bacterial reverse mutation tests and for which historical control data are available
Untreated negative controls:
yes
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide
9-aminoacridine
N-ethyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine
other: 2-aminoanthracene (with S9 mix) and 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (without S9 mix)
Evaluation criteria:
The test substance was considered positive in this assay if the following criteria were met:
A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. at least doubling (bacteria strains with high spontaneous mutation rate, like TA 98, TA 100 and E.coli WP2 uvrA) or tripling (bacteria strains with low spontaneous mutation rate, like TA 1535 and TA 1537) of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
A test substance was generally considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
The number of revertants for all tester strains was within the range of the historical negative control data under all experimental conditions in at least two experiments carried out independently of each other.

Additional information

in vitro

A GLP-conform study was performed to assess the mutagenic potential of the test item in a bacterial reverse mutation assay according OECD TG 471 in S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA100 and E.coli WP uvr A. The standard plate test and preincubation test both with and without metabolic activation (liver S9 mix from induced rats) were used. The test item was diluted with ethanol and a dose range from 33 to 5000 µg/mL was tested in two independent experiments.

A precipitation of the test substance was found only at the highest concentrations with and without S9 mix. A weak bacteriotoxic effect was occasionally observed depending on the strain and test conditions from about 2500 μg/plate onward. According to the results of the present study, the test substance did not lead to a relevant increase in the number of revertant colonies either without S9 mix or after adding S9 Mix in the two independent experiments. In this study with and without S9 mix, the number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain. In addition, the positive control substances both with and without S9 mix induced a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies within or above the range of the historical positive control data.

Thus, under the experimental conditions chosen here, the test item is not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation test in the absence and the presence of metabolic activation when tested up to bacteriotoxic concentrations (BASF SE 40M0514/15M153; 2016).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

The available experimental test data is reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for genetic toxicity under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.
