Evaluation criteria:
No significant effects: number of colonies after treatment with test substance is less than 2-fold the number of colonies of the solvent control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative

In a bacterial mutagenicity assay similar to OECD 471 and GLP, no mutagenic effect was observed for the test substance tested up to the top dose of 5000 µg/plate in any of the test strains in two independent experiments without and with metabolic activation. The test substance is non-mutagenic under the applied conditions.
