This standard specifies the basic technical requirements for non-programmed DNA synthesis tests. This standard applies to the evaluation of the mutagenicity and/or carcinogenicity of chemical, biological and physical factors involved in food production, processing, storage, transportation and sales that may cause health hazards. The test objects include food additives (including nutritional Fortifiers), new food resources and their components, new resource foods, irradiated foods, food containers and packaging materials, food tools, equipment, detergents, disinfectants, pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, microorganisms used in the food industry, etc. This short-term screening method can detect some mutagens and/or carcinogens that cannot be detected by short-term in vitro tests.
