- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- No further details specified in the study report.
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Based on the agreement with the sponsor and due to the fact that the Test Item is an UVCB the analytical measurement was performed by TOC analysis. Only the sum of the carbon content of the Test Item could be measured this way (and this did not change by the end of the test, independently from the stability), measurement was sufficient only at the beginning and end of the renewal periods to justify that the Test Item is present in the test solution, since more accurate data cannot be provided by TOC. The LOQ for this method was about 3 mg carbon /L. The carbon concentration of the Test Item was measured at the test concentration at the start and at the end of each renewal period (from an additional vessel without the test organism which would affect the total carbon present in solution). Sample from the control were taken for analysis at the beginning and end of each renewal period.
All samples will be analyzed directly after sampling. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Because the Test Item is a UVCB (Chemical Substances of Unknown or Variable Composition, Complex Reaction Products and Biological Materials), a test solution were prepared using a saturated solution method according to the Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures, OECD No. 23. A saturated Test Item solution at 100 mg/L Test Item nominal loading rate (WAF) was prepared individually by dispersing/dissolving the needed amount of Test Item into the test medium (aquarium water) two days before the start of the experiment. This solution was shaken for approximately 24 hours at approximately 30°C and then was equilibrated for approximately 24 hours at approximately 20°C. The non-dissolved test materials were removed by filtration through a fine (0.22 µm) filter to give the 100% saturated solutions. As only limit test was carried out, further dilution of this saturated solution was not performed.
- Test organisms (species):

- ENVIRONMENTAL TEST CONDITIONS
The water temperature, oxygen concentration and pH were measured daily during the experiment in each test aquarium.
Test temperature: 20.1–21.5°C
Dissolved oxygen concentration: 76–97 % of the air saturation value at the temperature used
pH: 7.01–7.62
Hardness of the dilution water: 189 mg/L (as CaCO3)
The light-dark cycle: 16 hours light and 8 hours darkness during the test
Feeding: the fish were not fed during the test
PERFORMANCE OF THE TEST
Taking into account that the stability of the Test Item in aquarium water was not available the Definitive Test was carried out in semi-static system. The frequency of the renewal periods was 24 hours. The test duration was 96 hours. One aquarium was used for test group and control group, respectively. Each aquarium comprised 7 fish and 5 L test solution. The loading of the test aquaria was less than 1.0 g fish/L test solution at the start of the experiment. The choice of the test concentrations was done on the basis of the results of the preliminary range-finding test.
Preliminary Range-Finding Test
A preliminary concentration range-finding test was conducted to determine the toxicity of the Test Item so that appropriate test concentrations could be selected for use in the Definitive Test. Four fish were exposed to each concentration of the Test Item plus a control for 96 hours under semi-static conditions. During the formulation procedure the test solutions were prepared individually.
There were no clinical signs observed in fish at any of the applied concentrations during the study.
Test item concentrations in the Definitive Test
No toxicity was observed in the preliminary study therefore 100 mg/L Test Item nominal loading rate (WAF) and one control was used in the Main test.
OBSERVATIONS
The observations of fish were carried out in the following intervals: at 3, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Mortality or any sub-lethal effect was not observed during the study. All animals were clinically normal during the study.
The test conditions (pH, temperature, oxygen saturation) were examined daily during the test.
The body weights of the fish were recorded before the introduction of fish. The body weight of 7 fish per aquarium was registered. The loading of the aquaria was calculated on the basis of these body weights (g fish/litre testing liquid).
ANIMAL WELFARE
After the experiment, all fish were humanely killed. Euthanasia for all animals was applied by an overdose of an aqueous solution of 250 mg/L Ethyl 3-aminobenzoate methanesulfonate (MS 222; CAS No.: 886-86-2). This technique is considered to provide a humane euthanasia by direct depression of the brain and vital centres. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the acute fish toxicity study on Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) the observed endpoints for the effect of the Test Item were the following:
The 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h LLR50 value: > 100 mg/L nominal loading rate WAF
The 96h LLR100 value: > 100 mg/L nominal loading rate WAF
The 96h NOELR: 100 mg/L nominal loading rate WAF
The 96h LOELR: > 100 mg/L nominal loading rate WAF
Based on the results of this study, the Test Item had no toxic effect at saturation on fish; the LLR50 results and the LOELR are higher than the solubility level of the Test Item in the test medium. - Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the Test Item was assessed with acute fish toxicity test on Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio), over an exposure period of 96 hours in a semi-static system. The frequency of the renewal periods were 24 hours.
Because no toxic effect was observed at the solubility level of the Test Item in the preliminary test, only this test concentration (100 mg/L Test Item nominal loading rate (WAF) at the solubility level of the Test Item in the test medium and one control group were tested in a limit test in the definitive study.
