Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with and without activation

In a bacterial reverse mutation assay according to OECD 471 and GLP, the structural analogue substance trimethoxysilane (CAS:2487-90-3) was concluded to be negative in the Salmonella typhimurium/E. coli preincubation mutagenicity assay with a confirmatory assay. The test substance is non-mutagenic in strains used for this study.
