- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The test substance is a mixture that is poorly soluble in water (information from sponsor). Therefore the test solution(s) was prepared following general guidance provided in OECD 23 in order to achieve water accommodated fraction (WAF) of the test substance. Generally, each test solution was prepared by directly adding test substance to test medium. A defined volume of test media was placed into a beaker (3-L nominal volume) and a glass sampling tube was suspended in the beaker with the top of the tube sufficiently above the surface of the test medium to avoid overflow from the surrounding surface layer. The test substance was pipetted carefully on the water surface outside of the glass tubes. The beakers were covered with Parafilm and shaken gently (approx. 50 RPM, to avoid emulsion formation) for about one day. After shaking, the required volume of aqueous fraction (test solution) was drawn off for testing via the glass sampling tube. The exposure was started after separation of the undissolved material. Fresh test solution was prepared for each test solution renewal day (days 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19) during the experiment. Undissolved test substance was visible outside the glass sampling tube at the water surface in the treatment group after each solution preparation. The test solutions removed from the sampling tube were visibly colorless and clear with no visible undissolved substance. The test solution pH was not adjusted prior to the start of exposure. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Water flea
- Source: The clone of Daphnia magna STRAUS 1820 used was supplied by the Institut National de Recherche Chimique Appliquée, France, in 1978. From this date on this clone was cultured and bred continuously in the Ecotoxicology Laboratory of Experimental Toxicology and Ecology, BASF SE, Ludwigshafen Germany.
- Culture conditions: Daphnia brood stock are kept in mass cultures consisting of approx. 20 – 30 individuals for a maximum of 4 weeks. All individuals in the mass culture originate from a single female. After approximately 14 days the adults have produced at least 3 broods and the young can be used in tests. Offspring are removed from the mass cultures at least once daily during the normal work week to ensure that young daphnia are <24-h old (first instar) at test initiation. Detailed records are kept (in test facility archives) to monitor the health of Daphnia brood stock cultures including observations of young production, mortality, ephippia, and measurement of water chemistry parameters. Only young from healthy cultures without signs of stress are used for testing.
- Feeding during test: yes
- Food type: live green algae Desmodesmus subspicatus
- Amount: ≤109 µL of the algae concentrate

- Justification for type of information:
- Toxicity data from a structurally related source substance (Glycerides, C14-C18 and C 16-C18 unsatd., mono-, di-, and tri- (even numbered), CAS 91052-28-7)are used as read-across in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. Both are UVCB substances, formed from the esterification of fatty acids and glycerol, having a high content of C18 fatty acids and to a certain extent C14 and C16 fatty acids. Both are composed of mono- to tri esters (Target substance: monoester: 61.9%, diester<: 29.7%, triester: 3.2%; Source substance: monoester: 20-95%, diester: 5-60%, triester: 0.5-15%). Furthermore, their water solubilities are comparable (< 1 mg/L). Therefore, these two substances are expected to show similar environmental behaviour and comparable degrees of toxicity to aquatic organisms. Based on the above information, the use of data fromGlycerides, C14-C18 and C 16-C18 unsatd., mono-, di-, and tri- (even numbered)as read-across for Glycerides, C14-18 mono- and di- is considered justified.

Additional information
No study is available investigating the long-term toxicity of Glyceride, rape oil mono-, di- and tri-, hydrogenated (CAS 91744-94-4) to aquatic invertebrates. Therefore, toxicity data from a structurally related source substance (Glycerides, C14-C18 and C 16-C18 unsatd., mono-, di-, and tri- (even numbered), CAS 91052-28-7)are used as read-across in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. Both are UVCB substances, formed from the esterification of fatty acids and glycerol, having a high content of C18 fatty acids and to a certain extent C14 and C16 fatty acids. Both are composed of mono- to tri esters (Target substance: monoester: 61.9%, diester<: 29.7%, triester: 3.2%; Source substance: monoester: 20-95%, diester: 5-60%, triester: 0.5-15%). Furthermore, their water solubilities are comparable (< 1 mg/L). Therefore, these two substances are expected to show similar environmental behaviour and comparable degrees of toxicity to aquatic organisms. Based on the above information, the use of data fromGlycerides, C14-C18 and C 16-C18 unsatd., mono-, di-, and tri- (even numbered)as read-across for Glycerides, C14-18 mono- and di- is considered justified.
The chronic toxicity of Glycerides,C14-18 and C16-18 unsaturated, mono-, di- and tri- (CAS No. 91052-28-7)to aquatic invertebrates has been evaluated by Salinas (2013). This test was conducted according to OECD 211, under GLP conditions. Daphnia magna was exposed to the substance at a single loading rate of 10 mg/L (limit test) for 21 days within a semi-static water regime. At the end of the exposure period, no effects on survival, reproduction or any other adverse effects were reported. Therefore the NOELR was determined to be ≥ 10 mg/L (nominal, loading rate) indicating that the substance is not harmful to aquatic invertebrates at long-term exposure within its limit of solubility in water. Based on the suitability of the read across approach this is also considered to be true for the target substance.
