The acute fish toxicity of the substance was assessed in a study conducted acccording to the internal method " Method A-11, Acute Fish toxicity", which is equivalent to OECD Guideline 203. Three groups, of 8 trouts each, were exposed to test concentrations of 100, 200 and 1000 mg/l for 48 hours.
4 out of 8 fish were found dead at the end of 48 hours observation period at the concentration of 1000 mg/l; while no mortality was observed with the concentration of 100 and 200 mg/l. Hence, the LC50 (described as TL50) was determined to be 1000 mg/l.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Several studies, conducted on batches characterized by different purity degrees of Fluorescent Brightener 363, investigating short-term toxicity potential in different species of fish (including rainbow trout, zebrafish and goldorfe) are available.
Almost all the experiments here reported were performed according to published methods, which were adapted and standardized for the specific needs of the sponsor company, well before Test Guidelines for these methods were established by the OECD beginning 1981; the method is comparable to current standard testing procedure published by the OECD within Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 203.
In the two studies conducted on test batches at highest purity degree among all the experiments, three groups, of 8 trouts each, were exposed to the concentrations of 100, 200 and 1000 mg/l over a period of 48 hours. In one experiment no mortality was observed throughout the duration of the observation period; in the other one, 4 out of 8 fish were found dead at the end of 48 hours observation period at the concentration of 1000 mg/l; while no mortality was observed with the concentration of 100 and 200 mg/l.
Except in two cases in which LC50 at 24 and 48 hours was identified to be 2080 and 520 mg/l, respectively, in all the other experiments the LC50 at 48 hours was identified to be higher than 1000 mg/l.
Thus, taken into consideration the batch characteristics and the most of the results, the LC50 value, re-calculated taken into consideration the purity degree and the substance content, resulted to be higher than 150 mg/l and possibly around 300 mg/l. Only in one case the LC50 recalculated resulted to be lower than 100 mg/l (i.e. ca 80 mg/l); however, since the most of the values are consistent, the LC50 at 48 hours can be reasonably concluded stated to be higher than 100 mg/l of Fluorescent Brightener 363.
Although in none of the experiments available the actual tested concentrations were measured, the substance is expected to be stable over the entire study period due to their physicochemical properties and nature of the substance. Fluorescent Brightener 363 is very water soluble and is completely dissociated in water; it neither readily degraded/transformed, nor photo/water/etc reactive.
