Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The test substance was solubilized in water because of its solubility. As there were no statistically significant toxic effects at the highest concentration (1000 mg L-1), no further testing was required at higher or lower concentrations as outlined in OECD 209, 2010.
