9.Overall conclusions with respect of Eligibility of the substance to be approved as basic substance

It has to be described in synthesis the fulfilment of the following criteria to allow for the identification as basic substance

(a) is not a substance of concern; and

(b) does not have an inherent capacity to cause endocrine disrupting, neurotoxic or immunotoxic effects; and

(c) is not predominantly used for plant protection purposes but nevertheless is useful in plant protection either directly or in a product consisting of the substance and a simple diluent; and

(d) is not placed on the market as a plant protection product.

It should be also included a synthesis of the conclusions of the evaluation demonstrating that the substance has neither an immediate or delayed harmful effect on human or animal health nor an unacceptable effect on the environment and therefore could be approved as "basic substance".
