Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The results were:-NOAEL maternal toxicity >= 300 mg/kg bw /day-NOAEL reproductive toxicity>= 1000 mg/kg bw/day-NOAEL offspring development >= 1000 mg/kg bw/day
Executive summary:

The aim of the test was to study the reproductive and developmental toxicity in rats (12 males and 12 females) in a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproductive / developmental toxicity screening test at doses of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day.

The test was performed according to OECD Test Guideline 422.

The results were:

-NOAEL maternal toxicity >= 300 mg/kg bw /day

-NOAEL reproductive toxicity>= 1000 mg/kg bw/day

-NOAEL offspring development >= 1000 mg/kg bw/day
