Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
US EPA accepted QSAR method for chemicals properties assessment.
Conclusions:
A NOEC value of 48.897 mg/L has been calculated for the effects of the test substance on the mortality of the fish taxonomic group. This result signifies that the test substance is not expected to be toxic .
Executive summary:

The ECOSAR QSAR model predicts that the NOEC for freshwater fish would to be 48.897 mg/l .This result signifies that the test substance is not expected to be toxic .
