Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative
N,N-Dibenzylamine was tested in the Ames test according to the respective guideline (plate incorporation and preincubation methodology) in the presence and in the absence of amethbolic activation system using concentrations of up to and including 5000 µg/plate (cytotoxic) but evidence on mutagenic activity was not seen. Positive controls were functional. Therefore, N,N Dibenzylamine was considered to be non-mutagenic in the Ames test.
