The immobility of the daphnids was determined using a validated QSAR for the Mode of Action of non-polar narcosis (MOA1). The QSAR is based on validated data for a training set of 58 chemicals derived from 48-hour test on daphnids, for which the concentrations of the test item had been determined by chemical analyses over the test period.

- Details on test solutions:
- The test item was applied as follows: the test item was tested for toxicity towards daphnia as aqueous extracts ("WAF") from up to 100 mg test item/L (final concentration). Different amounts of the test item were dispersed in dilution water. The elution of the water soluble part (WAF) of the test item took place on a shaking machine over night (18h) at room temperature. During that time an equilibration between the test item and the water was considered to be achieved. Thereafter, the suspensions were filtered through glass fibre filters in order to eliminate non-dissolved parts of the test item. The eluates were used for the test without further dilution steps.
Four parallels were prepared for each concentration and the control without any test item, respectively, using 5 animals each parallel (main test). Two parallels were prepared for each concentration and the control without any test item, respectively, using 5 animals each parallel in the screening test. As the test item is partially volatile, the test solutions were filled into 100 mL carboys with glass stoppers in a manner, that no gas phase was present in the vessel. By that method, volatility was minimized. As the test item may adsorb to glass surfaces, a first proportion of the test solutions was filled into the beakers, and after standing for approx. 1 hour, the test solution was renewed by a second one. By that measure, adsorption of the test item was minimized. As an additional test solution, a reagents blank was prepared using the highest amount of the solvent used within the treatments with the test item. Further measures were the same as described before.
The main test was performed using the "WAFs" from 1 mg/L, 2 mg/L, 4 mg/L, 8 mg/L, and 10 mg/L in the same way as described above. For this purpose, 4, 8, 16, 32, 40 mg of the test item was weighed directly into the vessels used for preparation of the WAFs. Then, 4000 mL dilution water was added to each vessel, and after closing the vessels the solutions were shaken on the shaking machine for 18h. Thereafter, the suspensions were filtered through glass fibre filters in order to eliminate non-dissolved parts of the test item. The eluates were used for the test without further dilution steps. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- Daphnia magna STRAUS (clone 5) of laboratory bred (derived from Dr. M. Bergtold, BASF, D-67117 Limburgerhof; the strain originally derived from the Institut National de Recherche Chimique'Appliquee, France in 1978 and cultivated since then at BASF using medium M4 acc. Elendt) were used for the test. In order to verify the sensitivity of the test system towards toxic items the effect of potassium dichromate towards different animals of this bred was tested prior to beginning of the test. The value of the EC5o (24h) in this period of time was 1.04 mg/L potassium dichromate. This value is in accordance with the recommendations given in OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test). The cultivation of the daphnia is performed in a way that the animals are transferred in new test medium at an interval of 1 to 3 days followed by feeding with Desmodesmus subspicatus- and/or Chlorella-cells. Daphnia used for the test are not older than 24h. Therefore, in every case, daphnia are transferred into fresh medium one day before starting of the daphnia test in order to get daphnia for the test younger than 24h. During the test the daphnia were not fed.
- Test type:

The immobility of the daphnids was determined using a validated QSAR for the Mode of Action in question, (MOA 1, non-polar narcosis). The QSAR is based on validated data for a training set of 58 chemicals derived from 48-hour test on daphnids, for which the concentrations of the test item had been determined by chemical analyses over the test period.
The acute toxicity to daphnia of linalool has been investigated using a QSAR model that predicts daphnia mortality in an OECD 202 study. Linalool falls within the applicability domain of the model as demonstrated in the QPRF.
The 48-h EC50 based on mobility was 45 mg test material/L.
This toxicity study is acceptable and can be used for that endpoint.

- - Descriptor domain: The water solubility value given as input to the Ecotox module of the iSafeRat® Holistic HA-QSAR falls within the descriptor domain of the model between log water solubility (in log (mol/L)) of -4.70 to 0.87.
- Mechanistic domain, if relevant: Currently, the ecotoxicity module of the iSafeRat® Holistic HA-QSAR can reliably predict the acute aquatic toxicity for chemicals generally classified as MOA 1 substances (non-polar narcotics). Based on the chemical structure of alkenes, these substances are expected to fall on the MOA 1 regression line. Myrcene as an alkene, is attributed to the class of non-polar narcotic compounds (MOA 1).
- Considerations on structural analogues: iSafeRat® Holistic HA-QSAR is mainly based on the thermodynamic relationship between water solubility and the aquatic toxicity. This model was constructed using high quality data for water solubility and fish acute aquatic toxicity for 58 substances with MOA 1.
- conclusion: Myrcene falls within the applicability domain of the model and can therefore be considered a reliably prediction for acute toxicity (48h-EC50) to daphnid. According to the principles laid down by the OECD and cited under the REACH regulation, this endpoint value can be considered valid for use in risk assessment and classification and labelling. - Results with reference substance (positive control):

- Remarks:
- (calculation method)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The acute toxicity to daphnids was determined using a validated QSAR for the Mode of Action in question. The first step of the iSafeRat mixture toxicity calculation employs phase equilibrium thermodynamics in order to determine the concentrations of each constituent within the WAF. This fraction equates to the analyzable fraction of a WAF study. Within the WAF, the constituents also partition between themselves further reducing the bioavailable fraction and thus the toxicity of the mixture compared to the individual constituents. In the calculation the second step is to remove this non-bioavailable fraction.
The final step is to determine the truly bioavailable fraction of the WAF per constituent. The EC50s of each constituent are already known from literature or calculated using the iSafeRat QSAR model. Each value and calculation has been included as a supporting study in the IUCLID. An additivity approach (based on Chemical Activity of each constituent) is used in order to calculate the Effective Loading of the WAF. The method has been validated using data derived from 48-hour EC50 tests on daphnids, for which the concentrations of the test item had been determined by chemical analyses over the test period. Further to this the effective loading rate of the WAF is determined by using a series of calculation steps using phase equilibrium thermodynamics and excluding the non-bioavailable fraction. It should be noted that the KREATiS WAF calculation methodology is proprietary information but full details will be provided to the Competent Authorities upon request further to common accord on the terms of a mutually acceptable non-disclosure agreement. - GLP compliance:

- Hardness:
- Hardness is not a necessary component of the WAF calculation.
- Test temperature:
- The temperature is not a necessary component of the WAF calculation but extremely low or high temperatures could influence the solubility of certain constituents. Therefore, the calculation method is considered acceptable to determine EL50s for daphnids between 20 and 23°C.
- pH:
- The pH is not a necessary component of the WAF calculation.
- Dissolved oxygen:
- The oxygen concentration is not a necessary component of the WAF calculation.

- Executive summary:
Orange oil is a Natural Complex Substance (UVCB) with a well-defined composition for which the relative percentage and its reported variation of each constituent is known.
Its acute toxicity to daphnids property has been investigated using an in-house calculation method that replaces an OECD 202 study and considers the recommendations in the OECD Serie on Testing and Assessment no 23 (i.e. WAF conditions).
Three compositions (or qualities) have been investigated : Orange oil cold pressed 10-fold, Orange essence oil 7-fold and Orange oil decolorised 1-fold provided from data supplied in the SIP.
The first step of the iSafeRat mixture toxicity calculation employs phase equilibrium thermodynamics in order to determine the concentrations of each constituent within the WAF. This fraction equates to the analyzable fraction of a WAF study.
Within the WAF, the constituents also partition between themselves further reducing the bioavailable fraction and thus the toxicity of the mixture compared to the individual constituents. In the calculation the second step is to remove this non-bioavailable fraction.
The final step is to determine the truly bioavailable fraction of the WAF per constituent. The EC50s of each constituent are already known from literature or calculated using the iSafeRat QSAR model. Each value and calculation has been included as a supporting study in the IUCLID. An additivity approach (based on Chemical Activity of each constituent) is used in order to calculate the Effective Loading of the WAF.
The 48h-EL50 was 4.3 mg test material/L for the composition of Orange oil cold pressed 10-fold, the 48h-EL50 was 4.1 mg test material/L for the composition of Orange essence oil 7-fold and the 48h-EL50 was 3.9 mg test material/L for Orange oil decolorised 1-fold. EL50 were based on mobility.
Based on the results of this study, Orange oil would not be classified as acute 1 to aquatic organisms in accordance with the classification of the CLP.
This toxicity study is acceptable and can be used for that endpoint.

- Sample storage: 0-8 degrees Celsius - Vehicle:

- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method:
The test media for the highest two concentrations were prepared by suspending 5.97 ul and 5.43 ul of the test item in 2300 ml and 4600 ml of test water respectively. The suspensions were stirred for 24 hours to dissolve as much test item as possible. Then, undissolved fractions of the test item, possibly existent as second invisible thin layer at the surface, were removed by extracting the upper 5 ml of the suspension with a pipette. The solution with the concentration of 1 mg/l was also used as stock solution to prepare the test media of the lower concentrations. Media were prepared just before the start of the test.
The test item and its main component, d-limonene, respectively, are highly volatile. To keep the test item concentrations during the preparation of the solutions, during the course of the biological incubation and in the analytical part as constant as possible, the test vessels containing the test media were only opened as often and as long as it was necessary during the whole period of study.
Furthermore the test item is not well soluble in test water. To avoid physical effects of non-dissolved test item on Daphnia no concentrations above the solubility limit of the test item in test water were tested.

Three toxicity studies are available with Orange oil, see table. One is not reliable for many reasons including the use of a solvent to obtain the high test concentrations far above the water solubility limits (Barth 2001, Rel. 3). The key study was carried out using Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) where undissolved test substance was removed from the water phase. The median effective loading rate 48h-EL50 = 1.1 mg/l (Vinken and Wydra 2007a).
The toxicity of Orange oil to daphnids has also been investigated using the QSAR calculation method iSafeRat that replaces an OECD 202 study and takes into consideration the OECD Series on Testing and Assessment no 23 (i.e. WAF conditions). This method takes into account the bioavailable fraction per constituent in the WAF. The EC50s of each constituent are already known from literature or calculated using the iSafeRat QSAR model. Each value and calculation has been included as a supporting study summary in IUCLID 6.1.3. An additivity approach (based on Chemical Activity of each constituent) is used in order to calculate the Effective Loading of the WAF of the test material. The 48h-EL50 ranged from 3.9 to 4.3 mg /L (Rel. 2).
