Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative

The test item was not considered to be clastogenic.
Executive summary:

No enhanced aberration rate in the presence or absence of metabolic activation was observed in this chromosomal aberration assay. Therefore, the test substance was not considered to be clastogenic.
