GENOTOXIC EFFECTS: 
- With metabolic activation: None
- Without metabolic activation: None
  The positive controls were functional.
PRECIPITATION CONCENTRATION: No precipitation was observed.
CYTOTOXIC CONCENTRATION: 
  TA 98: 5000 µg/plate (+/- S9)
  TA 100: 5000 µg/plate (+/- S9)
  TA 1535: 5000 µg/plate (+ S9), 250/1000 µg/plate (- S9)
  TA 1537: 5000 µg/plate (+ S9), 1000 µg/plate (- S9)
  TA 1538: 5000 µg/plate (+/- S9)

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative +/- S9

The test substance was found not to be genotoxic in an Ames test with and without metabolic activation
Executive summary:

The test substance was found not to be genotoxic in an Ames test with and without metabolic activation.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

Additional information from genetic toxicity in vitro:

An Ames test was conducted with the substance. The test substance was found not to be genotoxic in the Ames test with and without metabolic activation.

Justification for classification or non-classification
