Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance was found to be negative in the in vitro genotoxicity Ames assay in the absence of metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

The genotoxicity of VDC was determined in a reverse mutation assay conducted in vitro with Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98 and TA 100 without metabolic activation. The test substance did not induce any significant increase in the number of revertants in strain TA100.
