- Details on test solutions:
- The batch of Formaldehyde, oligomeric reaction products with acetone and diphenylamine tested consisted of dark brown flakes. The composition of the substance was unknown (UVCB). The substance was not completely soluble in test medium at the loading rates initially prepared. Before start of the preparation test substance was ground.Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) were prepared at individual loading rates ranging from 1.0 to 100 mg/L. A two-day period of magnetic stirring was applied to accelerate dissolution of the test substance in medium. Thereafter, the obtained mixtures were filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane filter (rc 55, Whatman) and used as test concentrations.

- Details on results:
- Range-finding testNo immobility was observed at any of the test concentrations during the test period. Therefore, the expected EC50 was above loading rate of 100 mg/L.All test conditions were maintained within the limits prescribed by the protocol.Limit testMeasured concentrationsSamples taken from the limit concentration were analysed. The actual concentration measured at the start of the test was 2.0 mg/L. The measured concentration was at the level of 98% of nominal at the end of the test (i.e. 1.9 mg/L). This concentration is considered the maximum solubility in medium. The effect parameters were expressed in terms of measured concentrations.ImmobilityThe responses recorded in this test allowed for reliable determination of an EC50. As expected no effects were observed in the control and the limit concentration.Experimental conditionsThese test conditions remained within the limits prescribed by the protocol (pH: 6.0-8.5, not varying by more than 1.5 units; oxygen: ≥3 mg/L at the end of the test).The temperature continuously measured in a temperature control vessel varied between 20 and 21°C during the test, and complied with the requirements as laid down in the protocol (18-22°C, constant within 2°C).
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The study procedures described in this report were based on the OECD guideline No. 202: "Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test", Adopted April 13, 2004 and the ISO International Standard 6341.The reference test was carried out to check the sensitivity of the test system as used by WIL Research Europe. Daphnia were exposed for a maximum of 48 hours to K2Cr2O7 concentrations of 0.10, 0.18, 0.32, 0.56, 1.0 and 1.8 mg/l and to a control. Twenty daphnids were exposed per concentration.The reference substance, potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7, art. 1.04864, batch no. K44879664) was obtained from Merck, Darmstadt, Germany.The actual responses in this reference test with K2Cr2O7 are within the ranges of the expected responses at the different concentrations, i.e. the 48h-EC50 was between 0.3 and 1.0 mg/l. Hence, the sensitivity of the daphnia was within the range determined with the historical data collected at WIL Research Europe.The 24h-EC50 was estimated to correspond with 0.80 mg/l.The 48h-EC50 was estimated to correspond with 0.39 mg/l.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Not specified
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the 48h-EC50 exceeded the maximum soluble concentration, i.e. 2.0 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
Acute Toxicity Study in Daphnia magna with Formaldehyde, oligomeric reaction products with acetone and diphenylamine.
The study procedures described in this report were based on the OECD guideline No. 202, 2004. In addition, the procedures were designed to meet the test methods of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Part C.2, 2008 and the OECD series on testing and assessment number 23, 2000.
The batch of Formaldehyde, oligomeric reaction products with acetone and diphenylamine tested consisted of dark brown flakes. The composition of the substance was unknown (UVCB). The substance was not completely soluble in test medium at the loading rates initially prepared. Before start of the preparation test substance was ground.
A limit test was performed based on the results of a preceding range-finding test. Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) was prepared at loading rate of 100 mg/L and used as the limit concentration.
Twenty daphnids per group (5 per replicate, quadruplicate) were exposed to an untreated control and the limit concentration. The total exposure period was 48 hours and samples for analytical confirmation of exposure concentrations were taken at the start and at the end of the test.
Samples taken from the limit concentration were analysed. The actual concentration was 2.0 mg/L at the start of the test and remained constant during the exposure (98% of nominal). This concentration is considered maximum soluble in medium. Therefore, the effect parameters were expressed in terms of measured concentrations.
The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the protocol and was considered valid.
The 48h-EC50 exceeded the maximum soluble concentration, i.e. 2.0 mg/L.

Additional information
An acute toxicity study in Daphnia magna was conducted with formaldehyde, oligomeric reaction products with acetone and diphenylamine. The substance was not completely soluble in test medium at the loading rates initially prepared. Before start of the preparation test substance was ground.
A limit test was performed based on the results of a preceding range-finding test. Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) was prepared at loading rate of 100 mg/L and used as the limit concentration. Samples taken from the limit concentration were analysed. The actual concentration was 2.0 mg/L at the start of the test and remained constant during the exposure (98% of nominal). This concentration is considered maximum soluble in medium. Therefore, the effect parameters were expressed in terms of measured concentrations. The 48h-EC50 exceeded the maximum soluble concentration, i.e. 2.0 mg/L.
