TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water:
Natural water (surface or ground water), reconstituted water or dechlorinated tap water are acceptable as culturing and dilution water if D. magna survives in it for the duration of the culturing, acclimation and testing without showing signs of stress. Waters in the range pH 6 to pH 9, with hardness between 140 mg/l and 275 mg/l (as CaCO3) are recommended.
As an example, the preparation of dilution water meeting the requirements is described below.
Dissolve known quantities of reagents in water. The dilution water prepared shall have a pH of 7.8 ± 0.5, a hardness of (225 ± 50) mg/l (expressed as CaCO3), a molar Ca + Mg ratio close to 4 + 1 and a dissolved oxygen concentration above 7 mg/l.
Prepare the solutions specified below:
- Calcium chloride solution: Dissolve 117.6 g of calcium chloride dihydrate (CaCl2.2H2O) in water (4.2) and make up to 1 l with water (4.2).
- Magnesium sulfate solution: Dissolve 49.3 g of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO4.7H2O) in water (4.2) and make up to 1 l with water (4.2).
- Sodium bicarbonate solution: Dissolve 25.9 g of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) in water (4.2) and make up to 1 l with water (4.2).
- Potassium chloride solution: Dissolve 2.3 g of potassium chloride (KCI) in water (4.2) and make up to 1 l with water (4.2).
Mixing
Mix 2.5 ml of each of the four solutions and make up to 1 l with water.
The dilution water shall be aerated until the dissolved oxygen concentration has reached saturation and the pH has stabilized. If necessary, adjust the pH to 7.8 ± 0.5 by adding sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution or hydrochloric acid (HCI). The dilution water prepared in this way shall not be further aerated before use.
- Sodium hydroxide solution, e.g. [NaOH] : 1 mol/l.
- Hydrochloric acid, e.g. [HCl] : 1 mol/l.
Reference substance:
Dissolve 600 mg of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) in water and make up to 1 l with water (4.2).

- Executive summary:
An acute immobilisation test was conducted for 48 hrs for assessing the effect of test chemical on aquatic invertebrates. The test was performed following the principles of the OECD guideline No. 202 “Daphnia sp.,Acute Immobilization Test”. Daphnia magna was used as a test organism for the study. The stock solution 50 mg/l was prepared by dissolving test chemical in reconstituted water. The solution was kept in ultrasonic bath for 20 min. Test solutions of required concentrationas were prepared by mixing the stock solution of the test sample with reconstituted test water.Test chemical concentrations were not verified analytically. Nominal test chemical concentrations used for the study were 0, 10, 18, 32, 58 and 100 mg/l, respectively. Study was performed using 5 organisms per vessel/replicates in a static fresh water system. Daphnids were exposed to test chemical in 50 ml glass vessel in a volume of 25 ml of liquid solution containing both the chemical and media. Control solution vessel containing reconstituted water without the test chemical was also setup during the study. The beakers were placed in a room at a temperature of 20±1°C. With the test substance one positive control Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) was also run simultaneously. EC50 was calculated using non linear regression by the software Prism 4. In the control vessel containing reconstituted water without the test chemical, no daphnids were immobilized at the end of the test. The 24 hr EC50 value of the reference substance was determined to be 0.73 mg/l. The dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test both in the control and test vessels was evaluated to be ≥ 3 mg/l (i.e, reported as > 8.2 mg/l), indicating that the validity criteria has been fulfilled. On the basis of the mobility of the test organism Daphnia magna due to the exposure of test chemical, the 48hr median effect concentration (EC50) value was determined to be 48.6 mg/l (95 % C. I. - 36.1 to 65.5 mg/l) (nominal concentration). Thus, test chemical was considered as toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Since the test chemical is readily biodegradable in water, test chemical was considered as non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates at environmental relevant concentrations and hence, considered to be 'not classified' as per the CLP classification criteria.
Reference
In control solution containing reconstituted water without the test chemical, no daphnids were immobilized at the end of the test.

Additional information
Experimental study & predicted data of the target chemical and supporting weight of evidence study of its structurally similar read across substance were reviewed for the short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates end point which are summarized as below:
In an experimental key study from study report (2018),an acute immobilisation test was conducted for 48 hrs for assessing the effect of test chemical on aquatic invertebrates. The test was performed following the principles of the OECD guideline No. 202 “Daphnia sp.,Acute Immobilization Test”. Daphnia magna was used as a test organism for the study. The stock solution 50 mg/l was prepared by dissolving test chemical in reconstituted water. The solution was kept in ultrasonic bath for 20 min. Test solutions of required concentrations were prepared by mixing the stock solution of the test sample with reconstituted test water. Test chemical concentrations were not verified analytically. Nominal test chemical concentrations used for the study were 0, 10, 18, 32, 58 and 100 mg/l, respectively. Study was performed using 5 organisms per vessel/replicates in a static fresh water system. Daphnids were exposed to test chemical in 50 ml glass vessel in a volume of 25 ml of liquid solution containing both the chemical and media. Control solution vessel containing reconstituted water without the test chemical was also setup during the study. The beakers were placed in a room at a temperature of 20±1°C. With the test substance one positive control Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) was also run simultaneously. EC50 was calculated using non-linear regression by the software Prism 4. In the control vessel containing reconstituted water without the test chemical, no daphnids were immobilized at the end of the test. The 24 hr EC50 value of the reference substance was determined to be 0.73 mg/l. The dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test both in the control and test vessels was evaluated to be ≥ 3 mg/l (i.e, reported as > 8.2 mg/l), indicating that the validity criteria has been fulfilled. On the basis of the mobility of the test organism Daphnia magna due to the exposure of test chemical, the 48hr median effect concentration (EC50) value was determined to be 48.6 mg/l (95 % C. I. - 36.1 to 65.5 mg/l) (nominal concentration). Thus, test chemical was considered as toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Since the test chemical is readily biodegradable in water, test chemical was considered as non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates at environmental relevant concentrations and hence, considered to be 'not classified' as per the CLP classification criteria.
In a prediction done using EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.11, theshort-term toxicity of the test chemical to aquatic invertebrates was predicted. On the basis of effect of test chemical observed in a static system on the mobility of the test organism during the 48 hr exposure duration, the lethal effect concentration (LC50) for the test chemical was estimated to be 99.133 mg/l. Thus, based on the LC50 value, test chemical can be considered as toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Since the test chemical is readily biodegradable in water, test chemical was considered as non-toxic and hence, considered to be 'not classified' as per the CLP classification criteria.
For the test chemical from authoritative database (2020), an acute immobilisation test was conducted for 48 hrs for assessing the effect of test chemical. The test was performed following the principles of the OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test). The study was performed under static conditions using Daphnia magna (Water flea) as a test organism. On the basis of the toxic effect of the test chemical on mobility of the test organism Daphnia magna, the 48 hr median effect concentration (EC50) value was determined to be 72 mg/l (nominal conc.). Thus, test chemical was considered as toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Since the test chemical is readily biodegradable in water, test chemical was considered as non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates at environmental relevant concentrations and hence, considered to be 'not classified' as per the CLP classification criteria.
On the basis of the above results, it can be concluded that the test chemical was considered as toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Since the test chemical is readily biodegradable in water, test chemical was considered as non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates at environmental relevant concentrations and hence, considered to be 'not classified' as per the CLP classification criteria.
