The context of the peer review was that required by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

The reliable endpoints concluded as being appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment, derived from the available studies and literature in the dossier peer reviewed, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed.
