Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

BVE gave negative results in the standard plate test and the preincubation assay according to OECD Guideline 471 in S. typhimurium TA1535, TA100, TA1537, TA98 and E. coli WP2uvrA both in the absence and in the presence of a metabolic activation system at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate.
