Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium (plate incorporation); preincubation

DURATION

- Preincubation period: 60 minutes

- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates for each test concentration; the initial plate incorporation assay was repeated using the pre-incubation method.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY

- Method: Background lawn assessment, relative colony counts

METABOLIC ACTIVATION
Aroclor induced rat liver S9 was tested for protein and P-450 content. S9 mix contained 5% S9, and glucose-6-phosphate and NADP as co-factors. 0.5 ml S9 mix were added to 2 ml top agar, 0.1 ml test material and 0.1 ml cell suspension, giving a final concentration of approximately 1% S9.
Evaluation criteria:
A result is positive if the number of revertants is significantly increased compared with the solvent control to at least 2-fold of the solvent control for TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 and 3-fold of the solvent control for TA 1535 and TA 1537 in both experiments.

Positive results have to be reproducible and the histidine independence of the revertants has to be confirmed by streaking on histidine-free agar plates.

Cytotoxicity is defined as a reduction in the number of colonies by >50% compared with the solvent control and/or a sparse background lawn.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with and without metabolic activation

[2-(Perfluorohexyl)ethyl]dichloro(methyl)silane has been tested in a reliable study, conducted according to OECD 471 and in compliance with GLP. No test-substance related increase in the number of revertants was observed with and without metabolic activation when tested up to cytotoxic concentration in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102. The result of the initial plate incorporation assay was confirmed in an independent experiment using the pre-incubation method. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.

[2-(Perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane has been tested for ability to cause chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster V79 cells according to OECD TG 473 and in compliance with GLP (Eurofins BioPharma, 2016). No increase in the number of cells with aberrations was observed either with or without metabolic activation when tested up to precipitating concentrations. Appropriate solvent, negative (treatment medium) and positive controls were included and gave the expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for the induction of chromosome aberrations under the conditions of this study.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative with and without metabolic activation

[2-(Perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane has been tested for mutagenicity in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells according to OECD TG 490, and in compliance with GLP. No test substance induced increase in the number of mutations was observed when tested up to limit concentrations. Appropriate solvent, negative (treatment medium) and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to mammalian cells under the conditions of the study.

Additional information

[2-(Perfluorohexyl)ethyl]dichloro(methyl)silane has been tested in a reliable bacterial mutagenicity study, conducted according to OECD 471 and in compliance with GLP (LPT, 2002). No test-substance related increase in the number of revertants was observed with and without metabolic activation when tested up to cytotoxic concentrations in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102. The result of the initial plate incorporation assay was confirmed in an independent experiment using the pre-incubation method. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.

The analogous substance, [2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane, has also been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria, in a study which was conducted according to the OECD Guideline 471, compliant with GLP (Hüls, 1997). The range of strains does not comply with the current guideline. No evidence of a test-substance related increase in the number of revertants was observed in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 or TA 1537 when tested with or without metabolic activation in the initial plate incorporation assay or the repeat preincubation experiment up to cytotoxic/limit concentrations. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were included and gave the expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.

The analogue substance, [2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane has been tested for ability to cause chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster V79 cells according to OECD TG 473 and in compliance with GLP (Eurofins BioPharma, 2016a). No increase in the number of cells with aberrations was observed either with or without metabolic activation up to precipitating concentrations. Appropriate solvent, negative (treatment medium) and positive controls were included and gave the expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for the induction of chromosome aberrations under the conditions of this study.

The analogue substance, [2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane has been tested for mutagenicity in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells according to OECD TG 490, and in compliance with GLP (Eurofins BioPharma, 2016b). No test-substance induced increase in the number of mutations was observed when tested up to limit concentrations. Appropriate solvent, negative (treatment medium) and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to mammalian cells under the conditions of the study.


Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available in vitro bacterial mutagenicity data, [2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]dichloro(methyl)silane does not require classification for mutagenicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
