Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Rats were treated with 1,2-Dichloro-3-nitrobenzene in a Repeated Dose Toxicity study and Reproductive/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test (OECD 422). The rats were treated with 0 (vehicle), 1, 5, 25 or 100 mg/kg bw/day test substance. No adverse effects on reproduction and offspring were indicated. Based on the findings obtained, a NOAEL for fertility and offspring of 100 mg/kg bw/day and is suggested.
