Analysis of the Test Item Concentrations
For the analysis of the actual test item concentrations the following samples were taken:
Just before test start:
- duplicate samples from the test medium (without daphnids)
- duplicate samples from the control (without daphnids)
After 48 hours (stability samples):
- duplicate samples from the test medium
- duplicate samples from the control
For the 48-hour stability samples, the contents of the two respective test beakers were combined.
All samples were deep-frozen (at about -20 °C) immediately after sampling. Based on pre-experiments for investigation of the storage stability (without GLP), the test item is sufficiently stable in the test water under these storage conditions.
The concentrations of the test item 1,3-Dimethyl-4-aminouraciI were analyzed in the duplicate test medium samples from the single test concentration of both sampling times (0 and 48 hours).
From the control, only one of the duplicate samples was analyzed from each of both sampling times. The analytical procedure and the results are described in the attached analytical report. - Vehicle:

- Method: The test medium of the only test concentration of nominal 100 mg/l was prepared by dissolving 31 mg test item completely in 300 ml test water by ultrasonic treatment for 15 minutes and intense stirring for 10 minutes at room temperature.
The test medium was prepared just before introduction of the daphnids (= start of the test).

- Conclusions:
- The test was performed scientifically reasonable according to OECD 202 under GLP, the report is well documented and the validity criteria are met. Hence, the results can be considered as sufficiently reliable to assess the toxicity of 1,3-Dimethyl-4-aminouracil to daphnia magna.
The 48-hour NOEC (highest concentration tested without toxic effects after the exposure period of 48 hours) and the 48-hour EC0 of 1,3-Dimethyl-4-aminouracil to Daphnia magna were determined to be at least 100 mg/l. The 48-hour NOEC and the 48-hour EC0 might even be higher, but concentrations in excess of 100 mg/l have not been tested according to the EU Commission Directive. The 48-hour EC50 and the 48-hour EC100 were clearly higher than 100 mg/l. With an EC50 > 100 mg/l, 1,3-Dimethyl-4-aminouracil does not need to be classified as hazardous to the environment acc. Regulation 1272/2008, neither acute nor chronic. - Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test item 1,3-Dimethyl-4-aminouracil to Daphnia magna was determined in a 48-hour static test according to the EU Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Part C.2 (1992), and the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, No. 202, Part I (1984), under GLP.
A limit test was performed in accordance with the EU Commission Directive 92/69/EEC to demonstrate that the test item has no toxic effect on the test organisms up to and including the concentration of nominal 100 mg/l. Thus, the only concentration tested was nominal 100 mg/l and a control.
During the test period, the test item concentration in the duplicate samples from the start and the end of the test was measured to be 93 and 91% of the nominal value. Under the test conditions, the test item 1,3-Dimethyl-4-amhouracil was sufficiently stable during the test period of 48 hours. Therefore, all reported results are related to the nominal concentration of the test item.
In the control and at the test item concentration of 100 mg/l, no immobilized or dead test organisms or other signs of intoxication were determined during the test period of 48 hours.
The 48-hour NOEC (highest concentration tested without toxic effects after the exposure period of 48 hours) and the 48-hour EC0 of 1,3-Dimethyl-4-aminouracil to Daphnia magna were determined to be at least 100 mg/l. These values might even be higher, but concentrations in excess of 100 mg/l have not been tested according to the EU Commission Directive. The 48-hour EC50 and the 48-hour EC100 were clearly higher than 100 mg/l. These values could not be quantified due to the absence of toxicity of 1,3-Dimethyl-4-aminouracil at the test concentration of 100 mg/l.
1,3-Dimethyl-4-aminouracil does not need to be classified as hazardous to the environment acc. Regulation 1272/2008, neither acute nor chronic.

Additional information
According to Regulation 1272/2008, Table 4.1.0, Classification categories for hazardous to the aquatic environment, a substance must be classified as Acute (short-term) aquatic hazard, Acute Category 1, if i.a. the 48 hr EC50 (for crustacea) is ≤ 1 mg/l. It must be classified as Chronic Category 3 if the 48 hr LC50 (for crustacea) is > 10 to ≤ 100 mg/l, and the substance is not rapidly degradable and/or the experimentally determined BCF ≥ 500 (or, if absent, the log Kow ≥ 4).
In both available studies, the following values were determined: EC50 > 100 mg/l, EC0 ≥ 100 mg/l, for daphnia magna. Hence, the substance does not need to be classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment, neither acute nor chronic.
