- Remarks:
- The Department of Health of the Government of the United Kingdom
- Test organisms (species):
- other: freshwater
- Details on inoculum:
- - Source of inoculum/activated sludge: Surface water was collected from Malmesbury Pond, Sandymoor, Runcorn on 12th February 2018.
- Laboratory culture: no
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: The collected surface water was filtered to remove coarse particles and aerated at 22 ± 2ºC prior to use. The surface water was then added to test media so as to achieve a final concentration of 100 mL per L of test media. The test suspensions were then aerated until the study pre-conditioning period was ready to commence on 14th of February.

- Additional substrate: no
- Solubilising agent (type and concentration if used): no
- Aeration: yes, carbon free air (rate: 30 - 100 mL / min)
- Continuous darkness: yes
- Other: 3 L volumes of test media were stirred constantly in round, flat bottomed flasks.
TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: conical flasks (with 3 L test media)
- Number of culture flasks/concentration: 1 (102.9 mg (20 mg C/L) of the reference material, sodium benzoate and test material at 25.8 mg/L).
- Method used to create aerobic conditions: aeration with carbon free air
- Other: test substance was added directly to the test vessels to achieve final test concentrations
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: Measurements were performed after the appearance of a precipitate of barium carbonate. This was on days 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 18, 23, 28 and 29.
- Sampling method: The contents of each dreschel bottle were titrated against standardised hydrochloric acid to a pH 7 endpoint. Titres were taken for the barium hydroxide at the start and end of each time period. - Reference substance (positive control):

Reference
Since more than 25% degradation occurred in the toxicity control, the substance is with high probability not toxic to aquatic microorganisms. The test item concentration in the toxicity control of 25.8 mg/L can be used as NOEC value for the toxicity to aquatic microorganisms.
Description of key information
The hazard assessment is based on the data currently available. New studies with the registered substance and/or other member substances of the glycol esters category will be conducted in the future. The finalised studies will be included in the technical dossier as soon as they become available and the hazard assessment will be re-evaluated accordingly.
For further details, please refer to the category concept document attached to the category object (linked under IUCLID section 0.2) showing an overview of the strategy for all substances within the glycol esters category.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The hazard assessment is based on the data currently available. New studies with the registered substance and/or other member substances of the glycol esters category will be conducted in the future. The finalised studies will be included in the technical dossier as soon as they become available and the hazard assessment will be re-evaluated accordingly.

Since no studies on the toxicity to aquatic microorganisms are available the results of a ready biodegradability study are used to evaluate the toxicity of the substance to aquatic microorganisms. If a compound degrades rapidly in a ready biodegradability test, or does not inhibit at a certain concentration the degradation process of the microorganisms in the positive control, the applied concentration can be used as a NOEC value. This approach is in accordance with the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (Chapter R.7b: Endpoint specific guidance, ECHA, 2017).
The biodegradation study according to OECD guideline 301B (2018) showed that freshwater microorganisms biodegrade rapidly isooctadecanoic acid, monoester with propane-1,2-diol (CAS 68171-38-0) at a test item concentration of 12.9 mg/L. Furthermore within the same study, the toxicity control containing 102.9 mg of the reference material, sodium benzoate and 25.8 mg/L test material clearly showed that no toxicity is expected by the substance to microorganisms since a degradation of 79.8% was obtained after 14 d. Therefore, no further study was necessary and no hazard towards aquatic microorganisms is expected. The NOEC (14 d) was therefore ≥ 25.8 mg/L.
