Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Exposure comments:
Doses of: 0, 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 or 5000 micrograms of 1,2-butanediol were applied per plate in 3 plates.
Positive control:
A) S9 negative received AF-2 sodium azide or 9-aminoacridine

Results and discussion

Test results
Species / strain:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative

Any other information on results incl. tables

Minimum concentration of test substance at which toxicity to bacteria was observed is > 5000ug/plate with metabolic activation and 5000ug/plate without metabolic activation.

In all strains at all concentrations tested, with or without metabolic activation, the test substance did not induce any changes within the chromosomal chromatin.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

CAS 584-03-2 was considered as "negative" in gene mutation tests under the experimental conditions used.
