Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The results obtained for the test item “ W3803S04SOLSIV” on the toxicological endpoint “inhibition of growth rate” indicate an ErL50-(0-72h) = 139.9 mg/L [99.4 – 200.3], based on nominal test item loading rate.
The results obtained for the test item “ W3803S04SOLSIV” on the toxicological endpoint “Yield inhibition” indicate an EyL50-(0-72h) = 141.7 mg/L [93.6 – 222.7], based on nominal test item loading rate.
