Description of key information

The test substance has a low toxicity to mammals, not leading to a classification. The test substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative and is not a PBT or vPvB-substance, and no adverse effects on reproduction to mammals were observed. No avian specific indications were obtained that an assessment of secondary poisoning for the aquatic and terrestrial food chains for birds could not be performed by using the mammalian PNEC and applying an additional assessment factor of 10 for birds. From the Integrated Testing Strategy in the Guidance Document R.7c it is concluded that a test with birds can await the outcome of the proposed reproduction toxicity test, and that the PNECbird can be estimated by PNECmammal/10.
