No significant increase in the mutant frequency was observed for the 5 tested strains, neither in the standard plate incorporation nor in the preincubation assays with or without metabolic activation.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

ASC PLUS, dried is considered to be non-mutagenic in the bacterial gene mutation test system.
Executive summary:

According to OECD 471 ASC PLUS, dried was dissolved in DMSO and tested with the 5 strains of Salmonella typhimurium: TA100, TA98, TA97, TA102 and TA1535.

Neither with nor without metabolic activation with S-9 mix an induction of mutagenic activity was seen. Adequate positive and negative control substances were included in the test system.

Up to and including concentrations of 5000 µg/plate ASC PLUS, dried did not increase the mutation frequency of the 5 tested strains and is therefore considered to be non-.mutagenic.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

Additional information from genetic toxicity in vitro:

6-[[(4-methylphenyl)sulphonyl]amino]hexanoic acid (ASC plus) is regarded as not genotoxic.

No further in vivo mutagenicity studies need to be considered because of negative results in all of the available genotoxicity studies that are required according to REACH Annex VII or VIII (c.f. REACH Annex VIII 8.4)

Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
The studies according to OECD 471, 476 and 487 were selected as key studies (Guideline studies under GLP).

Justification for classification or non-classification

All test systems gave no positive reaction to ASC plus. ASC plus is classed as not genotoxic according to the classification and labelling criteria of regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and EEC Directive 67/548.

Therefore, it can be concluded that ASC plus does not need to be classified and labelled.
