Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
Executive summary:

Trimethylolpropane was tested using the Ames test according to OECD TG 471 and GLP and showed no mutagenicactivity either with or without exogenous metabolic activation up to 5000 µg/plate, but cytotoxicity was not reached (MHLW 1994).
