Conclusions:
The BCF of the test material was < 41.7 at a concentration of 3.84 µg/l, and < 4.2 at a concentration of 38.5 µg/L.
Executive summary:

The aquatic bioaccumulation of the test substance was determined in accordance with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 305. The aquatic bioaccumulation was measured in a flow-through fish test, using carp, to assess the bioconcentration in fish. The fish was exposed to the test substance at concentrations of 3.84 µg/L and 38.5 µg/L in flow-through test conditions at 24.1°C-25.0°C for 28 days. The BCF was found to be < 41.7 at 3.84 µg/L and < 4.2 at 38.5 µg/L.

Description of key information

The BCF of the test substance was found to be < 41.7 at a concentration of 3.84 µg/L, and < 4.2 at a concentration of 38.5 µg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):
4.2 dimensionless

Additional information

A study was conducted to assess the aquatic bioaccumulation of the test substance. The study is considered reliable as it was conducted on the registered substance according to OECD Testing Guideline 305. The BCF of the test substance was found to be < 41.7 at a concentration of 3.84 µg/L, and < 4.2 at a concentration of 38.5 µg/L.
