Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Dichloro(methyl)(phenyl)silane has been tested in a reliable bacterial mutagenicity assay according to OECD TG 471 and under GLP. The test substance did not induce an increase in the number of revertants in either the initial plate incorporation assay or the repeat pre-incubation assay. Solvent and positive controls gave the expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
