Conclusions:

On the basis of the experimental studies of the read across chemical and applying the weight of evidence approach and by evaluating the effect of test chemical on test organism Daphnia magna, the 48hr EC50 value can be expected to be > 50 mg/l. Since the test chemical is readily biodegradable in nature, test chemical was considered as non-toxic and hence, considered to be not classified as per CLP classification criteria.

Executive summary:

Data available of the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the effect of the test chemical on aquatic invertebrates. The studies are as mentioned below:

An acute immobilisation test was conducted for 48 hrs for assessing the effect of test chemical on Daphnia magna. The test was performed in accordance to OECD guideline No. 202“Daphnia sp.,Acute Immobilization Test”. The test solution was prepared by dissolving 50 mg of the test chemical in 100 ml of ADaM’s media achieving a final test concentrations of 500 mg/l. Test chemical concentrations used for the study were 0, 7.5, 15, 30, 60, 120 mg/l, respectively. Test concentrations were verified analytically by UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. Study was performed using 10 daphnids in a static system. Total 10 Daphnids/conc. were exposed to test chemical in 25 ml beakers in a volume of 20 ml of liquid solution containing both the chemical and media. The beakers were placed in a room at a temperature of 18 -22°C, hardness of water 140 mg of CaCO3 and under a photoperiod of 16:8 hr light: dark conditions with light intensity 1000 – 1500 Lux, respectively. One control vessel was also run simultaneously during the study. The animals were exposed to medium (i.e.a beaker containing only medium) and the test chemical concentrations for a period of 48 hour. Potassium dichromate was used as a reference substance for the study. The 48 hr EC50 value of reference substance was determined to be 0.831 mg/l. No Immobility were found in the control test animals and the dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test in the control and test vessel was ≥ 3 mg/l, thus validity criterion of the study has been fulfilled. As the concentration of the test chemical being tested has been satisfactorily maintained within ± 20 % of the nominal concentration throughout the test. Therefore, the analysis of the results was based on nominal concentration. On the basis of effect of test chemical on mobility of the test organism, the median effect concentration (EC50 (48 h)) value was determined to be > 120 mg/L. Thus, based on the EC50 value, chemical was considered as non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates and hence, considered to be 'not classified' as per CLP classification criteria.

Another short term toxicity to aq. Invertebrate study was conducted for 48 hrs for assessing the effect of test chemical. The study was performed in accordance to OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test) in a static system. Daphnia magna was used as a test organism for the study.On the basis of effect on the mobility of the test organism Daphnia magna, the 48 hr EC50 value was determined to be > 50 mg/l. Since the test chemical is readily biodegradable in water, chemical was considered as non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates and hence, considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

On the basis of the experimental studies of the read across chemical and applying the weight of evidence approach and by evaluating the effect of test chemical on test organism Daphnia magna, the 48hr EC50 value can be expected to be > 50 mg/l.
