- Sampling method: Water samples were collected during the first exposure at t=0h and t = 24h, and during the last exposure at incubation time t=72 h before and after the exposure. As the concentration of the test item was very low, the complete test solution was poured into a 10-litre-separation funnel together with 700 g NaCl, 50 mL of 1 M HCl, and 25 mL trichlorotrifluoroethane (in total, respectively). The separation funnel was closed with a glass stopper, and then, the funnel was shaken manually for approximately 1-3 min. After shaking the phases of the liquid were allowed to separate, and the organic phase was collected in a screw-cap flask made of glass containing sodium sulphate for drying purpose.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: The flasks were stored at +4°C until analysis. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Because of the limited water-solubility and the volatile properties of the test item, special measures had to be regarded: The test item was tested as extracts from up to 10 mg per litre of dilution water. Higher concentrations were not tested as there was a 100% mortality at 10 mg/L in the screening-test. The extract is called „water accomodated fraction (abbreviated as „WAF“ hereafter). For this purpose, as a first step, a suspension of the test item was prepared in drinking water, as follows: the test item was weighed directly into glass bottles filled with 5000 mL of drinking water, respectively. The space above the liquids was saturized with molecular oxygen in order to facilitate oxygen saturation in the liquids. The preparation of the suspensions with drinking water was necessary for physiological conditions for the fish in the test solution. The drinking water used for the test refers to the OECD Guideline 203 and is controlled regularly (monthly). The test item was introduced into the water whilst incubation on a magnetic stirrer (main test) at room temperatu¬re for 16-24h. It is assumed that during that time equilibration between the test item and the water was achieved. Thereafter, stirring was stopped, and the solutions were filtered through glass fibre filters filters. The filtrates were used directly without any further dilution steps. Thus, the animals were exposed to the water-dissolved part of the test item. After temperature equilibration, the test animals were transferred into the prepared test solutions. After introducing the fish into the test solutions, the space above the liquids was saturized with molecular oxygen using oxygen from the central oxygen supply of the test facility in order to facilitate oxygen saturation in the liquids without further external aeration measures which normally would lead to loss of the volatile test item from the liquid. pH of the test solutions was not adjusted. As the test item exhibits volatile properties the test was conducted semi-statically in order to assure a constant test concentration. For this purpose, the test solutions were prepared daily and the test animals were transferred into the new test solutions daily, respectively.

- - Descriptor domain: The water solubility value given as input to the Ecotox module of the iSafeRat® Holistic HA-QSAR falls within the descriptor domain of the model between log water solubility (in log (mol/L)) of -4.63 to -0.87.
- Mechanistic domain, if relevant: Currently, the ecotoxicity module of the iSafeRat® Holistic HA-QSAR can reliably predict the acute aquatic toxicity for chemicals generally classified as MOA 1 substances (non-polar narcotics).

The acute toxicity to fish of citral has been investigated using a QSAR model that predicts fish mortality in an OECD 203 study. Citral as an aldehyde and a minor constituent of Orange oil is here assumed to act by non-polar narcosis. The 96-h LC50 based mortality was 16 mg test material/L. This toxicity study is acceptable and can be used for purpose of iSafeRat® calculation method where citral is a minor constituent of multiconstituent substance.

Decanal as an aldehyde is expected to fall on the aldehydes regression line. However here it is assumed and verified that the acute toxicity of decanal to fish can be determined using MOA 1 regression. Indeed, the iSafeRat® prediction of decanal for acute toxicity to fish is 1.4 mg/L which is very close to the experimentally measured value of 1.45 mg/L (ECHA disseminated dossier, 2010). The value of 1.4 mg/L can thus be used for purpose of iSafeRat® calculation method where decanal is a minor constituent of multiconstituent substance.

- - Descriptor domain: The water solubility value given as input to the Ecotox module of the iSafeRat® Holistic HA-QSAR falls within the descriptor domain of the model between log water solubility (in log (mol/L)) of -4.63 to -0.87.
- Mechanistic domain, if relevant: Currently, the ecotoxicity module of the iSafeRat® Holistic HA-QSAR can reliably predict the acute aquatic toxicity for chemicals generally classified as MOA 1 substances (non-polar narcotics). Based on the chemical structure of alcohols, these substances are expected to fall on the MOA 1 regression line. Linalool as an alcohol, is attributed to the class of non-polar narcotic compounds (MOA 1).
- Considerations on structural analogues: iSafeRat® Holistic HA-QSAR is mainly based on the thermodynamic relationship between water solubility and the aquatic toxicity. This model was constructed using high quality data for water solubility and fish acute aquatic toxicity for 67 substances with MOA 1.
- conclusion: Linalool falls within the applicability domain of the model and can therefore be considered a reliably prediction for acute toxicity (96h-LC50) to fish. According to the principles laid down by the OECD and cited under the REACH regulation, this endpoint value can be considered valid for use in risk assessment and classification and labelling. - Results with reference substance (positive control):

- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The acute toxicity to fish was determined using a validated QSAR for the Mode of Action in question (MOA 1, non-polar narcosis). The first step of the iSafeRat mixture toxicity calculation employs phase equilibrium thermodynamics in order to determine the concentrations of each constituent within the WAF. This fraction equates to the analyzable fraction of a WAF study.
Within the WAF, the constituents also partition between themselves further reducing the bioavailable fraction and thus the toxicity of the mixture compared to the individual constituents. In the calculation the second step is to remove this non-bioavailable fraction.
The final step is to determine the truly bioavailable fraction of the WAF per constituent. The LC50s of each constituent are already known from literature or calculated using the iSafeRat QSAR model. Each value and calculation has been included as a supporting study in the IUCLID. An additivity approach (based on Chemical Activity of each constituent) is used in order to calculate the Lethal Loading of the WAF. The method has been validated using data derived from 96-hour LC50 tests on fish, for which the concentrations of the test item had been determined by chemical analyses over the test period. Further to this the effective loading rate of the WAF is determined by using a series of calculation steps using phase equilibrium thermodynamics and excluding the non-bioavailable fraction.It should be noted that the KREATiS WAF calculation methodology is proprietary information but full details will be provided to the Competent Authorities upon request further to common accord on the terms of a mutually acceptable non-disclosure agreement. - GLP compliance:

- Hardness:
- Hardness is not a necessary component of the WAF calculation.
- Test temperature:
- The temperature is not a necessary component of the WAF calculation but extremely low or high temperatures could influence the solubility of certain constituents. Therefore, the calculation method is considered acceptable to determine LL50s for fish between 12 and 28°C.
- pH:
- The pH is not a necessary component of the WAF calculation.
- Dissolved oxygen:
- The oxygen concentration is not a necessary component of the WAF calculation.

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- 96h-LL50 for composition 1 of Orange oil (Orange oil cold pressed 10-fold) = 3.1 mg test item/L; 96h-LL50 for composition 2 of Orange oil (Orange essence oil 7-fold) = 2.9 mg/L and 96h-LL50 for composition 3 of Orange oil (Orange oil decolorised 1-fold) = 2.8 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
Orange oil is a Natural Complex Substance (UVCB) with a well-defined composition for which the relative percentage and its reported variation of each constituent is known.
Its acute toxicity to fish has been investigated using an in-house calculation method that replaces an OECD 203 study and considers the recommendations in the OECD Serie on Testing and Assessment no 23 (i.e. WAF conditions). Three compositions (or qualities) have been investigated : Orange oil cold pressed 10-fold, Orange essence oil 7-fold and Orange oil decolorised 1-fold provided from data supplied in the SIP.
The first step of the iSafeRat mixture toxicity calculation employs phase equilibrium thermodynamics in order to determine the concentrations of each constituent within the WAF. This fraction equates to the analyzable fraction of a WAF study.
Within the WAF, the constituents also partition between themselves further reducing the bioavailable fraction and thus the toxicity of the mixture compared to the individual constituents. In the calculation the second step is to remove this non-bioavailable fraction.
The final step is to determine the truly bioavailable fraction of the WAF per constituent. The LC50s of each constituent are already known from literature or calculated using the iSafeRat QSAR model. Each value and calculation has been included as a supporting study in the IUCLID. An additivity approach (based on Chemical Activity of each constituent) is used in order to calculate the Lethal Loading of the WAF.
The 96h-LL50 was 3.1 mg test material/L for the composition of Orange oil cold pressed 10-fold, the 96h-LL50 was 2.9 mg test material/L for the composition of Orange essence oil 7-fold and the 96h-LL50 was 2.8 mg test material/L for Orange oil decolorised 1-fold. LL50 were based on fish mortality.
Based on the results of this study, Orange oil would not be classified as acute 1 to aquatic organisms in accordance with the classification of the CLP.
This toxicity study is acceptable and can be used for that endpoint.

Additional information
The acute toxicity of Orange oil towards fish was assessed in a WAF test and the toxicity was also investigated using a validated QSAR calculation method.
The acute toxicity of Orange oil (Orange terpenes, Limonene content 98.4 area%) towards Danio rerio was investigated according to OECD guideline 203 under GLP (Lebertz 2011, GLP, rel. 1). Fish were exposed to nominal WAFs of 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 and 10.0 mg/l in a semi-static setup and observed for 96 hours. The concentration of hydrocarbons was measured. The acute toxicity (96h-EL50) of Orange Oil towards Danio rerio in a WAF test is 5.65 mg/l and the NOEL was 4.0 mg/L.
The toxicity of Orange Oil to fish was also investigated using the QSAR calculation method iSafeRat that replaces an OECD 203 study and takes into consideration the OECD Series on Testing and Assessment no 23 (i.e. WAF conditions). This method takes into account the bioavailable fraction per constituent in the WAF. The LC50s of each constituent are already known from literature or calculated using the iSafeRat QSAR model. Each value and calculation has been included as a supporting study summary in IUCLID 6.1.1. An additivity approach (based on Chemical Activity of each constituent) is used in order to calculate the Effective Loading of the WAF of the test material. The 96h-LL50 ranged from 2.8 to 3.1 mg /L (Thomas 2015, Rel. 2).
