Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Trimethoxy(vinyl)silane has been tested in a valid study, conducted according to OECD TG 471 and in compliance with GLP, using the preincubation method. No increase in the number of revertants was observed in any of S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2 at any concentration up to 5000 µg/plate with or without metabolic activation. The results of the repeat experiment agreed with those of the first experiment. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for the induction of mutations under the conditions of the test.
