DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Background lawn assessment, revertant colony counts
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:

In a highly reliable test, conducted under OECD 471, with GLP, no mutagenic effect was observed for the test substance tested up to cytotoxic concentration in any of the test strains in two independent experiments without and with metabolic activation. The test substance is non-mutagenic in test strains used.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: other: reduced background lawn and/or a reduction in the number of revertant colonies by more than 50% compared with the solvent control

Evaluation criteria:
The test chemical 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 random samples on
histidine free agar plates.

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

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results:
negative

Trichloro(hexadecyl)silane has been tested in compliance with OECD 471, under GLP conditions. No increase in the number of revertant colonies compared with the solvent control was observed for the test substance in any of the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA 100, TA102, TA 1535 and TA 1537 when tested with and without metabolic activation in either the initial plate incorporation or the repeat pre-incubation assay. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.

Additional information

No data on genetic toxicity (mutagenicity) in bacteria cells is available for trichloro(octadecyl)silane (CAS 112-04-9).Therefore, the risk assessment was performed based on the available data from the source substancetrichloro(hexadecyl)silane (CAS 5894-60-0), dichloromethyloctadecylsilane (CAS 5157-75-5) and chlorodimethyloctadecylsilane (CAS 18643-08-8).In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 “Grouping of substances and read across” and in accordance with the Read across assessment framework (RAAF, ECHA 2017) read across from analogue substances has been applied to support the human health hazard assessment oftrichloro(octadecyl)silane(CAS 112-04-9).

Genetic toxicity (mutagenicity) in bacteria in vitro

CAS 5894-60-0

A reliable bacterial gene mutation study (Ames test) performed according to OECD TG 471 and in compliance with GLP with Trichloro(hexadecyl)silane (CAS 5894-60-0) is available (LPT, 2002a). The strains Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 were tested according to the plate incorporation (experiment I) and pre-incubation (experiment II) procedure in the absence and presence of a metabolic activation system (Aroclor-induced rat liver S9-mix). Two independent experiments were conducted in three repetitions at each concentration from 10 to 1000 µg/plate (experiment I and II). Cytotoxicity was recorded in the tester strains TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 at the highest concentration of 1000 µg/plate (experiment I without metabolic activation) and for the tester strain TA 1537 at 1000 µg/plate (experiment I with metabolic activation). Moreover, cytotoxic effects were recorded at concentrations ≥316 µg/plate for all tester strains in the second experiment without metabolic activation. No precipitation was recorded in both experiments carried out with and without metabolic activation. Appropriate solvent (ethylene glycol dimethylether) and positive controls were included and gave the expected results. No significant increase in the number of revertants was observed in any of the tester strains with and without metabolic activation.

 

CAS 5157-75-5

Another reliable bacterial gene mutation study (Ames test) performed according to OECD TG 471 and in compliance with GLP with Dichloromethyloctadecylsilane (CAS 5157-75-5) is available (LPT, 2002b). The strains Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 were tested according to the plate incorporation (experiment I) and pre-incubation (experiment II) procedure in the absence and presence of a metabolic activation system (Aroclor-induced rat liver S9-mix). Two independent experiments were conducted in three repetitions at each concentration from 31.6 to 3160 µg/plate (experiment I and II). Cytotoxicity was observed in all tester strains in both experiments carried out with and without metabolic activation at the highest concentration of 3160 µg/plate. Precipitation was recorded at the highest concentration of 3160 µg/plate in both experiments with and without metabolic activation. Appropriate solvent (ethylene glycol dimethylether) and positive controls were included and gave the expected results. No significant increase in the number of revertants was observed in any of the tester strains with and without metabolic activation.

 

CAS 18643-08-8

Another reliable bacterial gene mutation study (Ames test) performed according to OECD TG 471 and in compliance with GLP with Chlorodimethyloctadecylsilane (CAS 18643-08-8) is available (LPT, 2002c). The strains Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 were tested according to the plate incorporation (experiment I) and pre-incubation (experiment II) procedure in the absence and presence of a metabolic activation system (Aroclor-induced rat liver S9-mix). Two independent experiments were conducted in three repetitions at each concentration from 100 to 5000 µg/plate (experiment I) and 31.6 to 3160 µg/plate (experiment II). Cytotoxicity was observed in all tester strains in the second experiment carried out with and without metabolic activation at the highest concentration of 3160 µg/plate. No precipitation was recorded in both experiments carried out with and without metabolic activation. Appropriate solvent (ethylene glycol dimethylether) and positive controls were included and gave the expected results. No significant increase in the number of revertants was observed in any of the tester strains with and without metabolic activation.

Taking into consideration the above results generated from the structurally analogue substances the target substance Trichloro(octadecyl)silane (CAS 112-04-9) is not expected to be mutagenic to bacteria. 



Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on genetic toxicity of the registered substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
