Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
In the test conditions, 100% of fish-egg mortality was observed at concentration of 14 mg/L after 33d but no data on the methodolgy applied are given moreover egg mortality alone is not considered as relevant do derivate a classification.
