- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The acute toxicity to the daphnids was determined using a calculation method for the Mechanism of Action (MechoA) in question (MechoA 1.1, i.e. non-polar narcosis). The QSAR model is based on validated data for a training set of 58 chemicals derived from 48-hour test on daphnids, for which the concentrations of the test item had been determined by chemical analyses over the test period.
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.
The method has been validated using data derived from 48-hour EC50 tests on aquatic invertebrates, 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. - GLP compliance:

- Executive summary:
Thuja Oil is a Natural Complex Substance (UVCB) with a well-defined composition (92.1%). Its acute toxicity to aquatic invertebrates has been investigated using an in-house calculation method that replaces an OECD 202 study and guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 23 (i.e. WAF conditions). The typical composition of the substance provided by the supplier of the has been investigated.
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 analysable fraction of a WAF study. In the calculation the second step is to remove this non-bioavailable fraction. 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.
These two reasons explain why ecotoxicity values from WAF studies are always higher for non-polar narcotic mixtures than the calculated values from CLP additivity calculation.The final step is to determine the truly bioavailable fraction of the WAF per constituent. The EC50s of each constituent are already known from literature or predicted using the iSafeRat QSAR model. Each value 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 Effective Loading rate of the WAF.
The 48h-EL50 was 6.3 mg test item/L for the typical composition of Thuja Oil.
This toxicity study is acceptable and can be used for that endpoint.

Description of key information
A calculation methodthat replaces an OECD 202 study and guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 23 (i.e. WAF conditions) has been used to assess the acute toxicity of Thuja Oil to aquatic invertebrate.
A 48h-EL50 of 6.3 mg/Lhas been estimated.
Based on the results of this study, Thuja oil would not be classified as acute 1 to aquatic organisms in accordance with the classification of the CLP.
