The following validity criteria are fulfilled:
* Mortality of controls is less than 10% at the end of the test
* Test conditions (pH, temperature, salinity) were maintained during the test
* The oxygen saturation was maintained during the test and was above 80% of oxygen saturation
There is a lack of information of data relating to the analytical monitoring showing that the concentrations of the test item were maintained during the test. However, the test has been performed under static conditions during 48 hours and according to the long-term toxicity test to Daphnia performed on a very similar substance, the substance is stable during 48 hours. Thus, we can consider that in a short-term study, the substance is also stable.
For details see table 1 in ‘Any other information on results incl. tables’ - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- For evaluation of the quality of the aquatic organisms and the experimental conditions, 3,5-dichlorophenol was used as a positive control.
48h LC50 = 0.96 mg/L with 95% confidence limits : 0.13-3.02 mg/L)
(See results on tables 2 and 4 below) - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- LC50 and NOEC were calculated using an appropriate statistical method from the ToxCalc Version 5 Software.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The test item exhibited adverse effects on Acartia tonsa at nominal concentrations of 32 mg/L and higher. The 48h-EC50 value was determined to be 66.75 mg test item/L (corresponding to ca. 20 mg active content/L).
- Executive summary:
The short-term aquatic toxicity of the REACh substance (2-Hydroxy-3-sulphopropyl) dimethyl[3-[(1-oxododecyl) amino]propyl]ammonium hydroxide (EC 242-893-1) was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed with the marine crustacean species Acartia tonsa in accordance with ISO 14669:1999 (Water Quality - Determination of Acute Lethal Toxicity to Marine Copepods (Copepoda; Crustacea)). The test item exhibited adverse effects on Acartia tonsa at nominal concentrations of 32 mg test item/L and higher. The 48h-EC50 value was determined to be 66.75 mg test item/L (corresponding to ca. 20 mg active content/L).

Description of key information
The short-term aquatic toxicity of the REACh substance was investigated in a GLP-compliant study (Hudson, 2009) performed with the marine crustacean species Acartia tonsa in accordance with ISO 14669:1999 (Water Quality - Determination of Acute Lethal Toxicity to Marine Copepods (Copepoda; Crustacea)). The test item exhibited adverse effects on Acartia tonsa at nominal concentrations of 32 mg test item/L and higher. The 48h-EC50 value was determined to be 66.75 mg test item/L (corresponding to ca. 20 mg active content/L).
NB. In case the solid content of the test item was not reported in a study report, ECx values were expressed in active content. If relevant, these values were used for the chemical safety assessment (worst-case values).

Additional information
The short-term toxicity to marine invertebrate species of the substance EC 242-893-1 was investigated in a GLP-compliant study (Hudson, 2009) performed in accordance with standard methods, without deviations. The study is considered as reliable with restrictions (Klimisch 2) and was selected as key study for the endpoint.
