Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)
DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hour
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Doses of the test substance were tested in triplicate in each strain. Two independent experiments were conducted.
Evaluation criteria:
A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if the total number of revertants in the tester strains is not greater than two (2) times the concurrent negative controls.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A bacterial reverse mutation assay was conducted equivalent to OECD 471 (Ames test) and GLP principles. All bacterial strains showed negative responses over the entire dose range, i.e. no significant dose-related increase in the number of revertants in two independently repeated experiments. The substance is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
