Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Under the experimental conditions of the study, the substance is considered to be not mutagenic with and without metabolic activation in a bacterial reverse mutation test conducted on the Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and mixed strains (TA7001 - 7006), testing up to 5000 µg/mL.
