Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The mutagenic effect in the in vitro bacterial mutagenicity test is induced by not reacted 2,3-epoxypropyl neodecanoate, which is mutagenic in vitro.
Executive summary:

Under the conditions employed in the Salmonella reverse mutation assay,

2,3-Epoxypropyl neodecanoate, oligomeric reaction products with toluene-4-sulfonic acid

was mutagenic with metabolic activation in strain TA1535 at doses higher 25 ug/plate and in strain TA100 at doses higher than 50 ug/plate.

However, the mutagenic effect in the in vitro bacterial mutagenicity test is induced by not reacted 2,3-epoxypropyl neodecanoate, which is mutagenic in vitro.
