Additional information on results:
The results of this experiments showed that the test item caused no increase in the number of revertants in all bacterial strains compared to the solvent control, in both the pres-ence and absence of metabolic activation. The test item did not induce a dose-related increase in the number of revertant colonies in all strains, in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.
Remarks on result:
other: Based on the results of this study it is concluded that Bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)ether is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study it is concluded that the test item is not mutagenic in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test following OECD Guideline 471 and EU Method B 13/14.
Executive summary:

The mutagenic potential of Bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tertramethyl butyl)phenyl)ether was studied in the Becterial Reverse Mutation Test following OECD Guideline 471 and EU Method B 13/14. The Salmonella typhimurium Strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA 1537 did not show any mutagenic activity in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.

Therefore it is concluded that Bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tertramethyl butyl)phenyl)ether is not mutagenic under the experimental conditions in this study.
