Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Positive results from the bacterial reverse mutation test indicate that a sbustance induces point mutations by base substitutions or frameshifts in the genome of either Salmonella typhimurium and / or Escherichia coli.
Negative results indictae that under the test conditions, the test substance is not mutagenic in the tested species.
On the basis of the results obtained, it can concluded that under the test conditions applied, thet test item is considered no to be mutagenic.
