Conclusion on classification

In order to determine the classification for hazardous properties related to the aquatic environment, the criteria of the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) version 2016 in Annex I were accurately followed.

Short-term (acute) aquatic hazard:

For classification, acute toxicity data are available for fish, aquatic invertebrates (Daphnia) and algae:

Fish: LC50 (96h) > 1.01 mg/L

Daphnia: EC0 (48h) > 26.3 mg/L

Algae: EC50 (72h, growth rate) = 0.44 mg/L

The criteria in Table 4.1.0 (a) of Annex I of the CLP Regulation were applied.

The lowest LC50 or EC50 value was observed for algae, which is hence the most sensitive species. According to Table 4.1.0 (a) the substance should be classified for acute aquatic hazard, as the lowest LC50 value, EC50 (72h) for algae = 0.44 mg/L, is smaller than the cut-off for classification of 1 mg/L. Hence, the test item should be classified as Acute aquatic toxic 1.

Long-term (chronic) aquatic hazard:

For chronic classification, there are only chronic data available for one trophic level, algae. As described in Figure 4.1.1 in the CLP regulation (EC No 1272/2008, version 2016), the most stringent outcome of classification according to Table 4.1.0 (b) (i) or (ii) and (iii) should be used.

Table 4.1.0 (b) (ii):

The substance is readily biodegradable, hence Table 4.1.0 (b) (ii) applies.

The EC10 (72h, growth rate) for algae was 0.182 mg/L, which is less than 1 mg/L but more than 0.1 mg/L. Therefore, the substance should be classified as Chronic aquatic toxic, category 3.

Table 4.1.0 (b) (iii):

Classification based on available acute data available for 2 trophic levels and environmental fate data:

Fish: LC50 (96h) > 1.01 mg/L

Invertebrates (48h) EC0 > 26.3 mg/L

Algae (96h) EC50 = 0.44 mg/L (based on growth rate)

Log Kow = 3.98

The substance is readily biodegradable.

Based on the criteria Table 4.1.0 (b) (iii), the substance should not be classified as the log Kow is below 4 and the substance is readily biodegradable.

Most stringent classification:

The conclusion of both assessment is that the substance should be classified for chronic aquatic hazard, category 3.
