In vivo mammalian liver cell unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) test Germ cell mutagenicity refers mainly to chemicals that can cause mutations in human germ cells and can be inherited to offspring. However, in vitro mutagenicity/genotoxicity tests and in vivo tests on mammal resting cells are also considered when substances and mixtures are classified in this hazard category. In this standard, the terms mutagenicity, mutagen, mutation and genotoxicity are mentioned many times. "Mutation" is defined as a permanent change in the amount or structure of genetic material in a cell. "Mutation" applies to heritable genetic variation, including both manifestations of phenotypic changes and significant DNA modifications found (for example, including heterosexual base pair changes and chromosomal translocations). "Mutagenic" and "catastrophic" are used for substances that cause an increase in the number of mutations in cells and/or biological populations.
"Genotoxic" and "genotoxic" apply to substances that cause changes in the structure, information content, or segregation of DNA, including DNA damage caused by substances that interfere with the normal replication process or (temporarily) alter its replication in a non-physiological manner. Genotoxicity test results are usually used as indicators of mutagenic effects.
GB20596—2006
4 Classification
4.1 Classification of substances
4.1.1 This classification system provides two different categories of germ cell mutations to accommodate the balance of evidence. The two-category system is defined as follows, see Table 1.
Hazard categories for germ cell mutations
Category A:
Category 1B:
Category 2:
Chemicals known to cause heritable mutations in human germ cells or likely to cause heritable mutations. Chemicals known to cause heritable mutations in human germ cells. Indicator: Positive evidence from human epidemiological studies: Chemicals that should be considered likely to cause heritable mutations in human germ cells. Indicator
Positive results in in vivo heritable germ cell mutation tests in mammals: or positive results in in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity tests in mammals, combined with some evidence that the substance induces germ cell mutations. This and supporting data, for example, can be derived from in vivo mutagenicity/genotoxicity tests in germ cells, or confirmed by the interaction of the substance or its metabolites with germ tissue, or positive results from tests showing human germ cell mutagenic effects that are not passed on to offspring, such as an increase in aneuploidy in seminal mitochondria of the population exposed to the substance.
Chemicals of concern because of their potential to induce transmissible mutations in human germ cells. Indicators
Indicators derived from tests on mammals and/or in some cases from in vitro tests; from somatic cell mutagenicity tests in mammals; or from in vivo somatic cell genotoxicity tests supported by positive results from other in vitro mutagenicity tests. Note: Chemicals that are positive in in vitro mammalian cell mutagenicity tests and are known to be germ cell mutagens from a chemical structure activity relationship should be considered as Class 2 mutagens.
4.1.2 For classification purposes, test results of mutagenic and/or genotoxic effects in germ and/or somatic cells of exposed animals are considered. Mutagenic and/or genotoxic effects determined in vitro may also be considered. 4.1.3 The classification system is based on hazard, and chemicals are classified according to their inherent ability to induce germ cell mutagenesis. Therefore, the classification scheme does not imply a hazard evaluation of the chemical. 4.1.4
Classification for heritable effects in human germ cells is based on well-validated, adequately validated tests. Examples of in vivo heritable germ cell mutagenicity tests are as follows: Rodent dominant lethal mutation test (OECD478) Mouse heritable translocation test (OECD485) Mouse specific site test
4.1.6 Examples of in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity tests are available: Mammalian bone marrow chromosome aberration test (OECD475) Mouse spot test (OECD484)
Mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus test (OECD474) 4.1.7 Examples of germ cell mutagenicity/genotoxicity tests are as follows: a) Mutagenicity test
Mammalian spermatogonia chromosome aberration test (OECD483) Sperm cell micronucleus test
b) Genotoxicity test
Spermatogonia sister chromatid exchange test Unscheduled DNA synthesis test (UDS) in spermatogonia 4.1.8 Examples of somatic cell genotoxicity tests are as follows: Unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) test in mammalian liver cells (OECD486) Sister chromatid exchange test (SCE) in mammalian bone marrow 4.1.9 Examples of in vitro mutagenicity tests are as follows: In vitro mammalian cell chromosome aberration test (OECD473) In vitro mammal cell gene mutation test (QECD476) Bacterial reverse mutation test (OECD471)
GB20596-2006
4.1.10 Classification of each substance should be based on expert judgement, weighing the available evidence. Where classification is based on a single test, the test should provide clear and unambiguous positive results. If new, well-validated test results are available, these should also be used in the balance of evidence. Consideration should also be given to whether the exposure routes used in the study are relevant to those of the human population. 4.2 Classification of mixtures
4.2.1 Classification of mixtures when data are available for the mixture as a whole Classification of mixtures will be based on available test data for the ingredients of the mixture, with classification based on the cut-off values/concentration limits for the ingredients that are germ cell mutagenic. Classification may be based on data for the mixture itself, on a case-by-case basis. In this case, the test results for the mixture itself must be conclusive, taking into account dose and other chemical factors such as test duration, observations from the germ cell mutagenicity test system and analysis (e.g. statistical analysis, test sensitivity). Documentation of the resulting classification should be maintained and available for review in the event that it is necessary. 4.2.2 Classification of mixtures when data are not available for the mixture as a whole: bridging principle 4.2.2.1 When the mixture itself has not been tested and has not demonstrated a germ cell mutagenicity hazard, but sufficient data are available from the individual ingredients and similar tested mixtures to demonstrate the hazard of the mixture, these data may be used in the bridging principle. This ensures that the existing available data are used to the greatest extent possible in the classification process without the need for additional testing in animals. 4.2.2.2 Dilution
If a mixture is diluted with a diluent that is not expected to affect the germ cell mutagenicity of the other ingredients, the new mixture may be classified as the original mixture. 4.2.2.3 Product batches
The germ cell mutagenicity of a production batch of a complex mixture may be assumed to be the same as the germ cell mutagenicity of another production batch of the same commercial product or produced under the control of the same manufacturer, unless there is reason to believe that the germ cell mutagenicity of the batch has significantly changed. In the latter case, a new classification must be made 4.2.2.4 Substantially similar mixtures, given the following: a) Two mixtures: 1) A + B 2) C + B;
b) The concentration of mutagenic component B is the same in both mixtures; The concentration of component A in mixture 1) is equal to the concentration of component C in mixture 2); e
d) Germ cell mutagenicity data for components A and C are available and these data are substantially equivalent, i.e. they are in the same category and are not expected to affect the germ cell mutagenicity of B. If mixture 1) has been classified by testing, mixture 2) can be classified in the same category. 4.2.3 Classification of mixtures when data are available for all ingredients of the mixture or only for some ingredients The mixture should be classified as a mutagenic when at least one ingredient has been classified as a Category 1 or Category 2 mutagen and the appropriate cut-off/concentration limits are shown in Table 2 for Category 1 and Category 2, respectively, or above. 3

Not classified
Mixtures: The classification of mixtures shall be based on the available test data for the ingredients of the mixture, in particular using the cut-off values/concentration limits for those ingredients. Existing classifications may be adjusted on a clause-by-clause basis, based on the available test data for the mixture as a whole or on a bridging basis. See below for integrated classification on a clause-by-clause basis. Further details can be found in 4.2. Classification based on individual ingredients of the mixture Does the mixture contain one or more ingredients classified as Category 1 mutagenic at a concentration of: ≥ 0.1%? Does the mixture contain one or more ingredients classified as Category 2 mutagenic at a concentration of: ≥ 0.1%*? Does the integrated classification on a clause-by-clause basis take into account the characteristics of the mixture itself? Are there test data for the entire mixture? Do the results of the reproductive cell mutagenicity tests factor in to dose and other factors such as time, observations and analysis (e.g. statistical analysis, test sensitivity) in the test system? Can the compound be used? (See 1.2.2) Not classified

See above: Classify according to the ingredients of the mixture For specific concentration limits, see Table 2.
b If data from other mixtures are used in the bridging principle, the data for this mixture must comply with the provisions of 4.2.1 and are conclusive. Figure 2 Flowchart for determination of germ cell mutagenicity of mixtures 5.2 Guidance
The theory that chemicals induce tumors in humans and animals involves genetic mutation of proto-oncogenic genes and/or cancer suppression of resting cell genes is increasingly accepted. Therefore, confirmation of the mutagenicity of chemicals in somatic and/or germ cells of mammals can lead to the classification of these chemicals as potential carcinogens: see also GB20597-2006. 6 Categories and warning labels
