Based on the results of the preliminary test the definitive test will be performed as a limit test with the nominal test item concentration 100 mg/L
under static conditions to enable the determination of immobilization after 24 and 48 hours. 2 to 24 h old daphnids will be used for the definitive
study. They will be obtained by removing the mother animals twice within 22 h. The daphnids will be acclimated to the dilution water at least 2 hours
before test start. The daphnids will not be fed during the study. Control replicates with dilution water (test medium without test item) will be tested
under the same conditions as the test groups. 20 daphnids divided into 4 groups with 5 animals per test vessel will be used. The immobilization of
the daphnids will be observed after 24 and 48 hours of exposure. Water parameters will be measured at test start and end of the study. Once per
month a reference item is tested to check the test system and test conditions. - GLP compliance:

Results of the Reference Item potassium dichromate:
The percentage immobility for the reference item potassium dichromate was determined after 24 h. The EC50-value (24 h) and the 95 % confidence
interval (CI) were determined by sigmoidal dose-response regression to be:
EC50 : 1.64 mg/L (CI 1.47 - 1.82 mg/L)
The 24 h EC50-value for potassium dichromate was found to be within the prescribed concentration range of 1.0 - 2.5 mg/L which is in line with the quality criteria stated in AQS P 9/2 (05/1996) for daphnids clone 5 cultured in Elendt M4 medium. The EC50-value of the reference item is also within the recommended range of 0.6 - 2.1 mg/L according to OECD-Guideline 202. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- EC-values and statistical analyses for reference item
EC50-value will be only calculated for the reference item by sigmoidal dose-response regression. Calculation of the confidence intervals for EC50
will be carried out using standard procedures according to CLOPPER and PEARSON (1934).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- At the limit concentration of 100 mg/L (nominal) of the test item Ethylene cyanohydrin no biological effect was observed.
- Executive summary:
In the acute immobilization test with Daphnia magna (STRAUS) the effects of the limit concentration of 100 mg/L of the test item Ethylenecyanohydrin (batch number: 1038042701), was determined according to OECD 202 (2004). The limit test was conducted under static conditions over a period of 48 h from 2008-09-23 to 2008-09-25 at Dr. U. Noack-Laboratorien, D-31157 , Germany .
20 test organisms were exposed to the limit concentration and the control. The limit concentration and the control were analysed via DOC and GC-MS after 0 h and 48 h. Details of the DOC analytic are given in (Details on analytical methods).
All effect values are given based on the nominal concentration. Water quality parameters, pH-value and dissolved oxygen concentration, measured at 0 and 48 h, were determined to be within the acceptable limits. The validity criteria of the test guideline were fulfilled.
At the limit concentration of 100 mg/L (nominal) of the test item Ethylene cyanohydrin no biological effect was observed.
