Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Since no adverse effects were observed, the NOAEL for the given test material was considered to be 1500 mg/kg bw/day.
Executive summary:

In reproductive toxicity study ,Groups of 65 male and female mice were given diets containing 0.1, 0.3 or 1 % (equivalent to 150, 500 and 1500 mg/kg bw/day) test material for 9 weeks prior to mating and throughout mating, gestation and rearing of their offspring (F1 generation).No adverse effects were reported. Hence the NOAEL for the given test material was considered to be 1500 mg/kg bw/day. When male and female mice were treated with test material orally.
