Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

48-hour median effect concentration (EC50): >91.9 mg/L (95% confidence limits: not available)

Executive summary:

The result given below was calculated from the time-weighted mean of measured concentrations. The median effect concentration (EC50) for immobilisation is mentioned as [>test concentration] because this test was limit test at the maximum concentration given in the Test Guideline,and the immobility was less than 50% at this concentration.
