Additional information

The test item was tested for potential mutagenic activity using the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay.

The experiments were carried out using histidine-requiring auxotroph strains of Salmonella typhimurium (Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537) and the tryptophan-requiring auxotroph strain of Escherichia coli (Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA) in the presence and absence of a post mitochondrial supernatant (S9 fraction) prepared from the livers of phenobarbital/b-naphthoflavone-induced rats.

The study included a Preliminary Compatibility Test, a Preliminary Range Finding Test (Informatory Toxicity Test), an Initial Mutation Test (Plate Incorporation Method) and a Confirmatory Mutation Test (Pre-Incubation Method).

Based on the results of the Range Finding Test, the test item concentrations in the Initial Mutation Test and in the Confirmatory Mutation Test were 5000, 1581, 500, 158.1, 50 and 15.81 μg/plate.

 

In the Initial Mutation Test and Confirmatory Mutation Test, the number of revertant colonies did not show any biologically relevant increase compared to the solvent control. There were no dose-related trends and no indication of any treatment-related effect.

No inhibitory or toxic effects of the test item were detected in the study.

The data from this mutagenicity assay show that under the experimental conditions applied, the test item did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the bacterial strains used.

In conclusion, the test item BAL0001022 (Batch Number: 013) had no mutagenic activity on the applied bacterial strains under the test conditions used in this study.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The data from this mutagenicity assay show that under the experimental conditions applied, the test item did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the bacterial strains used.

No classification/labelling is triggered according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) / GHS (rev. 7) 2017.
