- Details on results:
- In the analysed test media the measured concentrations of the test substance only amounted to 29.2-41.7% of the nominal values. These low recovery rates were probably due to a precipitation of the test substance, which was observed in test media of all concentrations during test duration and also in the samples taken for the analitycal measurements. The reason for the precipitation was possibly a reaction of the test substance with components of the test water during test duration.
Since in the stock solution a concentration was measured corresponding to 102.4% of the nominal value, the reported results are related to the nominal concentrations of the test substance. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The substance was tested according to guideline OECD 202.
Up to the highest concentration tested of 1000 mg test substance/l, no toxic effect on daphnia magna was seen. Therefore, a 48-hour EC50 value was not determined. - Executive summary:
Method
Acute toxicity to daphnia magna was determined following OECD guideline 202. Toxic effects were evaluated in terms of mobility, using nominal test concentrations of 95, 171, 309, 556 and 1000 mg test substance /l and a control. Actual concentrations in test media were also measured.
Results
In test media, measured concentrations of test substance only amounted to 29.2 - 41.7 % of nominal values. These low recovery rates were probably due to precipitation of test substance, which was seen in test media of all test concentrations during test duration and also in samples taken for analytical measurements. Since measured concentration of stock solution was 102.4 % of nominal value, results were reported as nominal concentrations of test substance.
Up to the highest concentration tested of 1000 mg test substance/l, no toxic effect on daphnia magna was observed. Therefore, after 48 hours of exposure:
EC0 = 1000 mg/l and EC50 > 1000 mg/l.

Description of key information
OECD 202, 1991, Daphnia, EC50 (48h) > 1000 mg/l.
OECD 202, 2003, Daphnia, EC50 (48h) > 100 mg/l.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No experimental data on target substance was available, thus a read across approach followed as detailed in section 13.
The assessment relied on studies on Similar Sustance 01 and 02, conducted according to OECD guideline 202.
Similar Subbstance 01 (91 % of active substance) was tested at nominal concentrations of 95, 171, 309, 556 and 1000 mg/l. Exposure duration was up to 48 h under static exposure condition. Measured concentration of stock solution was 102.4 % of nominal value; measured concentrations in test medium were between 29.2 -41.7 % of nominal values and precipitation was reported. After 48 h of exposure, no effect of immobilisation was seen up to the highest concentration, thus EC50 > 1000 mg/l, nominal concentration.
Similar Substance 02 (10 % of active substance) was tested at nominal concentration of 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 mg/l under static exposure conditions. No immobilisation was seen up to the highest tested concentration, thus EC50 > 100 mg/l.
