- Details on results:
- - Mortality of control: 0%
- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: Oily drops on the water surface after 72 h and 96 h of exposure. - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
The effect concentration is based on the nominal concentration because great differences were found in the measured concentrations (Table 1). Oily drops were observed after 72 and 96 h indicating an oversaturated solution. Stability testing of the test substance resulted in a deviation of < 20% from the concentration at the beginning. The test substance was biologically available.

Criterion from the guideline
Outcome
Validity criterion fulfilled
The mortality in the control(s) should not exceed 10% (or one fish if less than ten are used) at the end of the test
The mortality in the control(s) at the end of the test was <10%.
yes
The dissolved oxygen concentration must have been at least 60% of the air saturation value throughout the test
The dissolved oxygen concentration was >89% of the air saturation value throughout the test.
yes
There must be evidence that the concentration of the substance being tested has been satisfactorily maintained, and preferably it should be at least 80% of the nominal concentration throughout the test. If the deviation from the nominal concentration is greater than 20%, results should be based on the measured concentration.
The deviation from the nominal concentration greater than 20% at the end of the test.
no

- no

Description of key information
The hazard assessment is based on the data currently available. Pursuant to ECHA decision on a compliance check CCH-D-2114546495-41-01/F new studies with the registered substance will be conducted in the future. The finalised studies will be reported in an updated dossier until 19 October 2022 and the hazard assessment will be re-evaluated accordingly.

One experimental study investigating the short-term toxicity of decanoic acid, mixed diesters with octanoic acid and propylene glycol (CAS 68583-51-7) to fish is available. The limit test was performed according to the EU Method C.1 (GLP) with the zebrafish Brachydanio rerio under semi-static conditions. A Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) of 1000 mg/L did not result in any effects although oily drops were visible after 72 and 96 h. The analytical determination of the test substance based on TOC-analysis resulted in very different values since the test solutions were determined to be oversaturated, hence the effect concentration was based on the nominal values. Thus, a LL50 of > 1000 mg/L was determined and used for the chemical safety assessment.
