- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: Samples were taken from all test concentrations and the control.

- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The test item was liquefied in a water bath at approximately 50 °C. 100 µL of the melted test item was pipetted into 1000 mL test water at 50°C to prepare the highest concentrated test medium. Ultrasonic treatment was applied to the test medium at 50 °C for 10 minutes, followed by intensive stirring at room temperature for 2 hours until the test media cooled to 21°C. Dilutions for the lower test concentrations were made from the highest concentrated test medium.
- Controls: Test water with the absence of test item was used as a negative control. Potassium dichromate was used as a positive control to test for the sensitivity of test system.
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc.): Undissolved material remained after sample preparation. A 0.45 μm membrane filter (pre-conditioned with 200 mL filtrate) was used to filter the insoluble particles in the test media. The test item was clearly dissolved in all tested dilutions. - Test organisms (species):

- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test item on Daphnia magna was determined in a 48-hour static test according to OECD 202 (2004) and the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Part C.2.
For preparation of the highest concentrated test medium, the test item was melted at about 50 °C in a water bath before use. 100 µL of the melted test item were pipetted into 1000 mL test water at 50 °C. Then test medium was submitted to ultrasonic treatment at 50 °C for 10 minutes and intensive stirring at room temperature for two hours, until test media cooled down (21 °C). Due to the undissolved particles in the test water, the suspension was filtered after stirring through a
0.45 µm membrane filter (Whatman, NC45). As a pre-caution, the filter was pre-conditioned with 200 mL filtrate to avoid losses of dissolved test item due to adsorption on the filter material. The undiluted filtrate and the dilutions of 1:2, 1:4, 1:8 and 1:16 of the filtrate were used as test media. A control (test water without addition of the test item) was tested in parallel. During the test period of 48 hours, a decrease of test item concentration in the test media occurred. At the end of the test, 49 to 58 % of the initially measured concentrations were found. Therefore, the biological results were related to the mean measured concentrations of the test item (calculated as the geometric mean of the concentrations measured at the start and the end of the test). In conclusion, the 48-hour EC50 was determined as 36 mg/L based on a mean measured concentrations with a 95% confidence interval between 31 and 42 mg/L.
