Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In order to establish the maximum tolerated concentrations of the test substance for administration to dosed animals in a chronic study, a subchronic toxicity study was conducted with B6C3F1 mice of both sexes.

The concentrations used were: 0,03; 0,1; 0,3; 1,0 and 3,0 %. The dosed dietary preparations were administered for 8 weeks.

Deaths were recorded for all groups of mice receiving concentrations of 0,3 % or more (no Nr. of animals given).

Mean body weight depression was approximately 22 and 3 %, respectively, in males and females dosed with 0,3 % of test substance.

Males receiving 0,1 % experienced mean body weight depression of approximately 3 %.

The concentration of test substance selected as highest dose group for the in the mouse chronic bioassay was 0,2 %.
