Any other information on results incl. tables

Due to the limited solubility of the OECD Limit Tests were conducted using direct addition ofmaterial. Limit Tests were conducted. Sufficient replicates were tested (6 replicates for algae) to allow for hypothesis testing and confident demonstration that the EC50/LC50 was greater than the test concentration of 100 mg/l.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The EC50/LC50 was greater than the test concentration of 100 mg/l
