- Details on results:
- - Mortality of parent animals: The test item induced biologically substantial adult mortality of 70 % in the nominal test item concentration of 100 mg/L and 100 % in the concentration level of 250 mg/L and in the pH-control after 21 days. According to the guideline adult mortality of > 20 % is seen to be biologically substantial. In the concentration levels of 6.40 to 40.0 mg/L and in the control all parental daphnids survived until the end of the study.
The EC10 for the adult mortality was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression to be 73.8 mg/L (95% confidence limits: 73.7 – 73.8 mg/L. The EC50 was calculated to be 91.9 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 40.0 – 250 mg/L), respectively.
- No. of offspring produced per day per female:
Five broods were observed in the test period at all parent animals of the control and the concentration levels 6.40 to 40.0 mg/L. In the concentration level 100 mg/L only 2 of 3 surviving daphnids released broods. There was one parental daphnid releasing two broods and one parental daphnid releasing 3 broods. In the concentration level 250 mg/L and in the pH-control no broods were observed due to 100 % mortality of the daphnids. The average number of juveniles per parent in the control group was 131 after 21 days. The reproductive output was statistically significant reduced in comparison to the control at the nominal test item concentrations of 40.0 and 100 mg/L. The other concentration levels of 6.40 and 16.0 mg/L were not statistically significant reduced when compared to the control (KRUSKAL-WALLIS One Way Analysis of Variance on Ranks, DUNN’S method, p < 0.05). No reproductive output was observed in the concentration level 250 mg/L and in the pH-control (containing 250 mg test item/L) due to 100 % mortality of the daphnids.
- Body length and weight of parent animals: please refer to the respective table
- Type and number of morphological abnormalities: Related to the total number of produced juveniles (dead + alive) the percentage of dead juveniles and aborted eggs was ≤ 3 % at the tested concentration levels 6.40 to 100 mg/L. In the control no dead juveniles or aborted eggs were observed. In the concentration level 250 mg/L and in the pH-control (containing 250 mg test item/L) no juveniles were observed due to 100 % mortality of the daphnids.
- Type and number of behavioural abnormalities: No abnormalities
- Time to first brood release or time to hatch: The first day of appearance of juveniles in the replicates producing juveniles of all concentration levels and the control was released till day 9 by all surviving parental daphnids of the control and the nominal test item concentrations of 6.40 to 40.0 mg/L. In the concentration level of 100 mg/L the first brood was released after day 15, which is regarded to be biologically significantly delayed - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? yes
- Relevant effect levels: EC50 (24 h) = 1.70 (CI 1.59 - 1.86) - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The NOEC and the LOEC for the reproductive output as the most sensitive effect and for the adult mortality were determined directly from the observation data. Significant deviations were determined in comparison to the control using statistical standard procedures as Normality Test, Equal Variance Test and Analysis of Variance.
For the determination of significant deviations of the reproductive output, the intrinsic rates of natural increase, the total body length, the day of appearance of the first brood and the number of broods KRUSKAL-WALLIS, One Way Analysis of Variance on Ranks (p < 0.05) was used. The coefficients of variation around the mean number of living offspring produced per parent in the control and the test groups were evaluated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) and the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) for the reproductive output as the most sensitive effect and the adult mortality were determined directly from the observation data.
The EC10- and EC50-values for the reproductive output and the adult mortality were calculated by sigmodial dose-response regression. All effect values given are based on the nominal concentrations of the test item 2,2’-(Cyclohexylimino)diethanol.
EC10, Reproduction : 24.3 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 20.3 – 29.1 mg/L)
EC50, Reproduction : 54.0 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 49.1 – 59.7 mg/L)
NOECReproduction : 16.0 mg/L
LOECReproduction : 40.0 mg/L
EC10, Adult Mortality : 73.8 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 73.7 – 73.8 mg/L)
EC50, Adult Mortality : 91.9 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 40.0 – 250 mg/L)
EC100, Adult Mortality : 250 mg/L
NOECAdult Mortality : 40.0 mg/L
LOECAdult Mortality : 100 mg/L - Executive summary:
The Daphnia magna Reproduction Test (semi-static, 21 d) of the test item 2,2’-(Cyclohexylimino)diethanol(batch number ESD0011452) was conducted according to OECD 211 (2008) from 2011-08-31 to 2011-09-22, with the definitive exposure phase from 2011-08-31 to 2011-09-21, at Dr.U.Noack-Laboratorien, Käthe-Paulus-Str. 1, 31157Sarstedt, Germany.
Test species was Daphnia magna STRAUS (Clone 5). Ten daphnids, individually held, were used per concentration level, pH-control and control. At test start the daphnids were 2 to 24 hours old. The study was carried out under semi-static conditions with renewal of the test solutions 3 times per week. Aim of the Daphnia Reproduction Test over 21 days was to assess effects on the reproduction capacity and other test item-related effects or parameters such as time of production of first brood, adult mortality, intrinsic rate of natural increase, occurrence of aborted eggs and stillborn juveniles and body length of the parental daphnids.
Nominal concentrations of 2,2’-(Cyclohexylimino)diethanolwere selected as follows: 6.40 - 16.0 - 40.0 - 100 - 250 mg/L.
The concentrations of the test item 2,2’-(Cyclohexylimino)diethanol were analytically verified by LC-MS/MS of samples taken on days 0, 7, 14 (fresh media, 0 hours) and on days 2, 9, 16 (old media, 48 hours) of all concentration levels, the pH-control and the control.
The recoveries in the fresh media (0 hours) and in the old media (48 hours) were in the range of 92 to 106 %, demonstrating that concentrations of 2,2’-(Cyclohexylimino)diethanolwere successfully maintained for the duration of the test. Therefore, all effect values given are based on the nominal concentrations of the test item 2,2’-(Cyclohexylimino)diethanol.
· The average number of juveniles per parent in the control group was 131 after 21 days. The reproductive output was statistically significant reduced in comparison to the control at the nominal test item concentrations of 40.0 and 100 mg/L. The other concentration levels of 6.40 and 16.0 mg/L were not statistically significant reduced when compared to the control (Kruskal-Wallis One Way Analysis of Variance on Ranks, Dunn’smethod, p 0.05). No reproductive output was observed in the concentration level 250 mg/L and in the pH-control (containing 250 mg test item/L) due to 100 % mortality of the daphnids.
The EC10 for the reduction of the reproductive output was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression to be 24.3 mg/L (95% confidence limits: 20.3 – 29.1 mg/L). The EC50 was calculated to be 54.0 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 49.1 – 59.7 mg/L), respectively.· The coefficient of variation of the number of living offspring produced per parent was 3 % in the control.
· The Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOECReproduction) and the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOECReproduction) after 21 days based on the reproductive output as the most sensitive effect are summarized in Table 1.
The intrinsic rates of natural increase (IR)of the surviving parent animals accounting for generation time and number of offspring were used for calculation of population growth and maintenance. The mean IR of the surviving daphnids of the treatment groups were compared to the control by Kruskal-WallisOne Way Analysis of Variance on Ranks, Dunn’smethod (p 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference at the concentration levels of 40.0 and 100 mg/L. No intrinsic rate could be calculated for the concentration level 250 mg/L and the pH-control (containing 250 mg test item/L) due to 100 % mortality of the daphnids. The other concentration levels of 6.40 and 16.0 mg/L were not statistically significant when compared to the control.
· Related to the total number of produced juveniles (dead + alive) the percentage of dead juveniles and aborted eggs was ≤ 3 % at the tested concentration levels 6.40 to 100 mg/L (Table 7). In the control no dead juveniles or aborted eggs were observed. In the concentration level 250 mg/L and in the pH-control (containing 250 mg test item/L) no juveniles were observed due to 100 % mortality of the daphnids.
· Five broods were observed during the test period at all surviving parental daphnids in the concentration levels of 6.40 to 40.0 mg/L. In the concentration level 100 mg/L the number of broods was significantly reduced to ≤ 3 broods per surviving daphnid during the exposure phase (Kruskal-WallisOne Way Analysis of Variance on Ranks, Dunn’smethod, p 0.05). In the concentration level 250 mg/L and in the pH-control no broods were observed due to 100 % mortality of the daphnids. The first brood was released till day 9 by all surviving parental daphnids of the control and the nominal test item concentrations of 6.40 to 40.0 mg/L. In the concentration level of 100 mg/L the first brood was released after day 15, which is regarded to be biologically significantly delayed.

A summary of test item related effects concerning the adult mortality (EC10, Adult Mortality, EC50, Adult Mortality, NOECAdult Mortality and LOECAdult Mortality) and growth (dry weight, body length) is given in Table 2.
· The test item induced biologically substantial adult mortality of 70 % in the nominal test item concentration of 100 mg/L and 100 % in the concentration level of 250 mg/L and in the pH-control after 21 days. According to the guideline adult mortality of > 20 % is seen to be biologically substantial. Inthe concentration levels of 6.40 to 40.0 mg/L and in the control all parental daphnids survived until the end of the study.
The EC10 for the adult mortality was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression to be 73.8 mg/L (95% confidence limits: 73.7 – 73.8 mg/L. The EC50 was calculated to be 91.9 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 40.0 – 250 mg/L), respectively.· The mean body lengths of the surviving parental daphnids in the nominal test item concentrations 6.40 to 100 mg/L were determined to be in the range of 4.33 to 5.50 mm per daphnid and 5.25 mm per daphnid in the control group, respectively (Table 2 and Table 10). The body length of the surviving daphnids was not statistically significantly reduced at any of the tested concentration levels in comparison to the control (Kruskal-Wallis One Way Analysis of Variance on Ranks, Dunn’smethod, p 0.05).
The mean dry body weight was determined to be in the range of 0.03 to 0.71 mg per daphnid in the test groups and 0.66 mg per daphnid in the control, respectively.Table 2: Test Item Related Effects on Adult Mortality (EC10, EC50, NOEC and LOEC) and Growth
