NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth

Evaluation criteria:
The test substance is considered to be positive in this test system if one or both of the following conditions are met:
- at least a reproducible doubling of the mean number of revertants per plate above that of the negative control at any concentration level for one or more of the following strains: TA 98, TA 1535, TA 1537 and E. coli WP2uvrA,
- a reproducible increase of the mean number of revertants per plate for any concentration above that of the negative control by at least a factor of 1.5 for strain TA 100.
Generally a concentration-related effect should be demonstrable.
Statistics:
A statistical analysis has not been performed. Statistical methods concerning this particular test system are only used at the limits of the criteria for a positive response.
