- Method: Five water accommodated fractions (WAF) were prepared with nominal loadings of the test item in the range of 6.25 to 100 mg/L, set up in a geometric series with a separation factor of 2. For each loading level, an appropriate amount of the test item was weighed out and transferred into a measuring flask with an appropriate amount of dilution water. These dispersions were stirred for 72 h with 1100 rpm at room temperature. After a separation phase of 1 h, the WAFs were taken from the homogeneous liquid phase (the approximate centre of the glass flask) and used for testing. The test loadings are based on the results of a non GLP preliminary range finding test under static conditions.

Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Since no studies investigating the short-term toxicity of Isooctadecanoic acid, mixed esters with oxybis[propanediol] to aquatic invertebrates are available, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5, a read-across to the structurally related source substances Isooctadecanoic acid, ester with oxybis[propanediol] (CAS 73296-86-3) and Di(isooctadecanoic) acid, diester with oxydi(propanediol) (CAS 67938-21-0) was conducted. The source substances are representative to evaluate the short-term toxicity of the target substance to aquatic invertebrates.
The target substance Isooctadecanoic acid, mixed esters with oxybis[propanediol] exists as two different grades. Grade One is characterized by mainly triesters of C18 iso fatty acids of the alcohol component diglycerol. Grade Two is characterized by mainly tetraesters of C18 iso fatty acids of the alcohol component diglycerol.
The source substance Isooctadecanoic acid, ester with oxybis[propanediol] (CAS 73296-86-3) is characterized as a UVCB substance containing polyglycerol as alcohol component. Polyglycerol components are esterified to give mainly monoesters of C18 iso fatty acids.
The source substance Di(isooctadecanoic) acid, diester with oxydi(propanediol) (CAS 67938-21-0) is characterized by the alcohol component diglycerol which is esterified by C18 iso fatty acids and consists only of diesters.
This read-across is justified in detail in the analogue justification in IUCLID section 13. In this case of read-across, the best suited (highest degree of structural similarity, nearest physico-chemical properties) read-across substances were used for the assessment.
The study with the source substance Isooctadecanoic acid, ester with oxybis[propanediol] (CAS 73296-86-3) was performed according to OECD 202 and EU method C.2. Due to the low water solubility of the test material, WAFs ("water accommodated fractions") prepared with Daphnia test medium were used to prepare the five test material loading rates. The test was performed under GLP conditions. Daphnia magna were exposed to five different loading rates (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg test material/L) over a period of 48h in a static freshwater system. After 48h, the mobility of Daphnia magna was assessed.No immobility was observed at the two lowest loading rates (6.25 and 12.5 mg/L) and the control group. An EL50 (48 h) of 60.53 mg/L was determined.
The study with the source substance Di(isooctadecanoic) acid, diester with oxydi(propanediol) (CAS 67938-21-0) was performed according to OECD 202. Due to the low water solubility of the test material, WAFs ("water accommodated fractions") prepared with Daphnia test medium were used to prepare the five test material loading rates. The test was performed under GLP conditions. Daphnia magna were exposed to five different loading rates (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg test material/L) over a period of 48h in a static freshwater system. After 48h, the mobility of Daphnia magna was assessed.No immobility was observed at the two lowest loading rates or the control group. An EL50 (48 h) of 53.5 mg/L was determined.
Based on the results for the structurally related read-across substances (in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5) which is characterized by a similar ecotoxicological profile and comparable structure, it can be concluded that no toxicity to aquatic invertebrates is expected for the target substance Isooctadecanoic acid, mixed esters with oxybis[propanediol]up to the limit of water solubility.
