However, the substance formed an oily layer at the surface of the test solution which trapped some organisms. Therefore, the real tested concentration could have been lower than the nominal ones and physical effect may have interfered the interpretation of the results.

- Conclusions:
- On the basis of these results, it can be concluded that Rhodiastab X2 is classified as toxic to aquatic invertebrates in accordance with the classification system of the European Union.
- Executive summary:
Rhodiastab X2 was tested for acute toxicity to Daphnia magna according to the EU method C2 (Acute toxicity for Daphnia), described in Annex V of the Directive 67/548/EEC, and in compliance with the Good Laboratory Practice.
Twenty daphnids, obtained from the laboratory breeding, were exposed to increased concentrations of the test substance, during 48 hours, in the dark at 20°C.
As the test substance is slightly soluble, it was heated at 30°C in a water-bath before being dissolved into the test medium and stirred to obtain the following nominal concentrations: 1 - 1.8 - 3.3 - 5.8 and 11 mg/L. The test solutions have been submitted to an ultra-sound treatment for one hour before being used for the daphnids test.
No significant immobilization was observed up to 1 mg/L and 100% immobilization was obtained with 11 mg/L. The EC50 was calculated to be the nominal concentration 1.9 mg/L.
Based on the results of this study, Rhodiastab X2 is considered as toxic to Daphnia magna in accordance with the classification system of the EU.
The results of this study should be used with caution because the substance formed an oily layer at the surface of the test solution which trapped some organisms. Hence, the real tested concentration could have been lower than the nominal ones and physical effect may have interfered the interpretation of the results.

YES, immobilization in the control was zero.
- Concentration of dissolved oxygen in the test vessels should remain above 3 mg l-1 throughout the course of the test.
YES, the dissolved oxygen concentrations were between 95 % and 97 % of the saturation value.
Additional EU quality criteria:
- Test Daphnia in the control groups must not have been trapped at the surface of the water.
YES, test daphnia were not have been trapped at the surface of the water in the control groups. Daphnia were trapped at the surface of the water in all the test concentrations due to the formation of the substance clusters at the surface.
- The concentration of the test substance shall be maintained to within 80% of the initial concentration throughout the duration of the test.
No data available
- The initial concentration shall be taken as the concentration measured in solution (or, if technically not possible, measured in the water column) at the start of the test.
- No data available
- In any of these cases, further measurements must be made during the test to confirm the actual exposure concentrations or that the quality criteria have been met.
No data available

Description of key information
Two studies are available to cover this endpoint.
One study has been performed with Rhodiastab X2 on Daphnia magna in an acute immobilization test following the EU method C2 (Acute toxicity for Daphnia), described in Annex V of the Directive 67/548/EEC, and in compliance with the Good Laboratory Practice.
Twenty daphnids were exposed to increased concentrations of the test substance during 48 hours, in the dark at 20°C. As the test substance is slightly soluble, it was heated at 30°C in a water-bath before being dissolved into the test medium and stirred to obtain the following nominal concentrations: 1 - 1.8 - 3.3 - 5.8 and 11 mg/L. The test solutions have been submitted to an ultra-sound treatment for one hour before being used for the daphnids test.
No significant immobilization was observed up to 1 mg/L and 100% immobilization was obtained with 11 mg/L. The EC50 was calculated to be the nominal concentration 1.9 mg/L.
Based on the results of this study, Rhodiastab X2 is considered as toxic to Daphnia magna in accordance with the classification system of the EU.
The results of this study should be used with caution because the substance formed an oily layer at the surface of the test solution which trapped some organisms. Hence, the real tested concentration could have been lower than the nominal ones and physical effect may have interfered the interpretation of the results.
Another study in accordance with the EC Guideline and GLP is available but only the commercial name is reported in the test report (i.e. no chemical name nor CAS RN). Moreover, the degree of purity is not available and the study reported an EC50 at 24h instead of 48h as requested by current guideline. For these reasons, this study was only supplied for information.
