Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The genetic toxicity of the test item was determined in an Ames test. No genetic toxicity was observed in this test.
Executive summary:

The genetic toxicity of the test item was determined in an Ames test. Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA1538) were used with and without metabolic activation. No genotoxicity effects were observed during this study.
