a: no observation was made because all fish were dead at this observation timepoint.
The pH increased up to 10 in the non-neutralized test solutions and therefore the results derived from these vessels were not considered reliable. The LC50 of > 100 mg/L when the pH was adjusted was considered as reliable and was used for further assessment.

Description of key information
LC50 (96 h) > 100 mg/L (nominal, OECD 203) based on read across from CAS 109-89-7
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Data on the toxicity of Diethylammonium chloride (CAS 660-68-4) to fish are not available. Therefore read across from the analogues substance N-ethylethanamine (CAS 109-89-7) was conducted.
A study (reference: 6.1.1-1) is available testing the toxicity of N-ethylethanamine (CAS 109-89-7) to fish according to the OECD guidance 203 and GLP standards. The test organism, Oryzias latipes, was exposed in a semi-static test regime to the nominal test item concentrations of 0 (control), 9.5, 17.1, 30.9, 55.6, 100.0 (without pH adjustment) and 100 mg/L (with pH adjustment). An analytical monitoring was performed via HPLC. The recoveries were between 92.6 and 99.2% of the nominal values in both the fresh and the old media. No mortalities were observed within 96 h in the 100 mg/L concentration when the solution was neutralized. Therefore, the LC50 (96) was > 100 mg/L.
Two further publications available for N-ethylethanamine gave similar results. The publication by Van Leeuwen et. al. (1985) reports an LC50 (96 h) of 130 mg/L. The test was conducted according to the OECD guideline 203 in a semi-static regime. Poecilia reticulate was the test organism. In a further publication by Tonogai et al. (1982) Oryzias latipes was exposed to the test substance for 48 h. The test was conducted according to a guidance of the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee. No mortality of the fish was observed in this study resulting in an LC50 (48 h) of > 1000 mg/L. The publications were used as supporting information since they were poorly documented.
Based on the experimental data of the read across substance, no effects are expected by Diethylammonium chloride (CAS 660-68-4) to fish up to a concentration of 100 mg/L.
