- Executive summary:
In the acute immobilisation test with Daphnia magna (STRAUS), the effects of the test item were determined according to OECD 202, Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 Method C.2 and EPA OPPTS 850.1010. The study was conducted in a static system over a period of 48 hours with a limit concentration of 100 mg/L. 20 daphnids per test concentration and control were tested. The test item concentration was determined at the start and at the end of the test with LC/MS/MS and it was in the range of 91 - 97 % of the nominal concentration. Therefore, the biological endpoints were based on the nominal concentration. The validity criteria of the test guideline were fulfilled. There was no immobilisation observed in the twenty daphnids exposed to the test item treated and control groups. Further no abnormal behaviour or appearance of test animals was noted. The estimated EC50 value (48 hours) of the test item based on the nominal concentration is >100 mg/L. The NOEC was determined to be 100 mg/L.

- Executive summary:
The 24 -h acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna was studied under static conditions according to OECD 202 (1983) and EU method C.2 (1984). Daphnids were exposed to the test item at nominal concentrations of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L. No analytical monitoring was performed. During the study the dissolved oxygen, pH, water temperature and the immobilization rate were measured. Based on the number of immobile daphnids the EC values were determined. The EC0 value was > 100 mg/L (nominal) and the EC100 was ≤ 1000 mg/L after 24 hours. The EC50 value was determined to be > 100 mg/L.

Preliminary Range-Finding Test
After the exposure period no immobilised daphnids were observed neither in the control, nor in the test solution. Therefore, a limit test was performed as the main test.
Analyticals Results
The mean of the measured concentrations of the test item in the test solution was 91 % of the nominal value at the start and 97 % of the nominal value at the end of the test. There is evidence that the concentration of the tested substance was maintained within ± 20 % of the nominal concentration throughout the test. Therefore, the analysis of the results was based on the nominal concentration value. Test item was not detected in the control group.
Description of key information
In a 48-hour acute toxicity test on Daphnia magna, the obtained results showed that the test item had no toxic effects on the mobility of Daphnia up to the concentration of 100 mg/L. The 48-h EC50 was determined to be higher than 100 mg/L and the 48-h NOEC was determined to be 100 mg/L. A 24-h immobilisation study with Daphnia magna supports the obtained results in the 48-h test. The 24-h EC50 was determined to be >100 mg/L.

Additional information
Key:
In the acute immobilisation test with Daphnia magna (STRAUS), the effects of the test item were determined according to OECD 202, Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 Method C.2 and EPA OPPTS 850.1010. The study was conducted in a static system over a period of 48 hours with a limit concentration of 100 mg/L. 20 daphnids per test concentration and control were tested. The test item concentration was determined at the start and at the end of the test with LC/MS/MS and it was in the range of 91 - 97 % of the nominal concentration. Therefore, the biological endpoints were based on the nominal concentration. The validity criteria of the test guideline were fulfilled. There was no immobilisation observed in the twenty daphnids exposed to the test item treated and control groups. Further no abnormal behaviour or appearance of test animals was noted. The estimated EC50 value (48 hours) of the test item based on the nominal concentration is >100 mg/L. The NOEC was determined to be 100 mg/L.
Supporting:
The 24-h acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna was studied under static conditions according to OECD 202 (1983) and EU method C.2 (1984). Daphnids were exposed to the test item at nominal concentrations of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L. No analytical monitoring was performed. During the study the dissolved oxygen, pH, water temperature and the immobilization rate were measured. Based on the number of immobile daphnids the EC values were determined. The EC0 value was > 100 mg/L (nominal) and the EC100 was ≤ 1000 mg/L after 24 hours. The EC50 value was determined to be > 100 mg/L.
