Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results: ambiguous with metabolic activation

Under the conditions tested the test substance was not mutagenic in the strains TA98, TA100 and TA1537.
However, with S9-activation the TA1535 strain presented some weak positive results. Therefore the test substance was rated as ambiguous.
