Description of key information

In accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex X, toxicity testing with birds (required in section 9.6.1) is omitted in consideration of the mammalian dataset that is available on the substance. Due to the low bioavailability of the substance the bioaccumulation potential is negligible and thus the substance is considered not to cause any hazardous effects to predators like birds. Thus, a study with birds is scientifically unjustified. Taking also in consideration animal welfare reasons, testing with birds will be omitted.
