Additional information

Seven acute toxicity tests with fish are available for various alkyl-1,3-diamines with C12-18 chains (all reliability 2) which can be used for read across to this substance N-C12 -14 -alkyltrimethylenediamines (CAS No. 90640 -43 -0). The tests reveal a comparable toxicity for the diamines with alkyl chain lengths ranging from C12 to C18, independent of the alkyl chain lenght. Justification for the read-across is provided in the attached document.

The tests were considered to be valid with restrictions for various reasons. The test concentrations were not analytically verified because a reliable specific method of analysis was not available at the time when the test was performed. Further concerns related to the poor solubility of the test substances and partial sorption onto the walls of test vessels.

The available acute fish toxicity data  are all determined with the same species, endpoint, test duration, life stage and testing conditions and they have te same reliability rating. As the results are not more than order of magnitude apart (96h LC50 range 0.08 - 0.35 mg/L),

they can be harmonised by a geometric mean according to REACH Guidance document Chapter R.7b.

The geometric mean of all 7 tests has been calculated resulting in LC50 of 0.150 mg/L. It can be concluded that fish are less sensitive to the alkyl-1,3 -diamines than daphnia and algae in acute toxicity tests based on the geometric mean of all available acute test data. Therefore it can be concluded as well that fish toxicity is not a critical endpoint for the PNEC derivation, Classification and PBT assessment. The experimental value of 0.148 mg/L is selected as key value for the CSR.
