Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Diketon was examined for mutagenic activity up to 5000 µg/plate in the five histidine-dependent Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 1538 and TA 98 with and without metabolic activation.

No growth inhibition and no precipitates were seen up to 5.0 mg/plate.

There was no evidence for a mutagenic activity of Diketon when tested up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5 mg/plate in the absence and presence of S9 mix.
