- Details on sampling:
- One sample of the freshly prepared stock solutions and duplicate samples from the freshly prepared test media of all test concentrations and the control were taken at the start of the test and at day 1.
For the determination of the stability of the test item under test conditions and of the maintenance of the test item concentrations during the test period, duplicate samples from the aged test media of all test concentrations and the control were collected at the end of the test and at day 1 (after 24 hours of exposure) by pouring together the contents of the test beakers of each treatment.
The concentrations of the test item were analysed in unicate samples of the stock solution and in duplicate samples of the test media from all sampling times (0, 24 hours and 48 hours). From the control samples only one of the duplicate samples was analysed from each sampling time. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- A stock solution of 50 mg/L was prepared by dissolving 23.6 and 21.7 mg test item into 472 and 434 mL test water, respectively, by intense stirring for 10 minutes. Adequate volumes of this stock solution were diluted with test water to prepare the test media of the desired test concentrations.
The test media were prepared just before introduction of the daphnids (= start of the test) and at test medium renewal on Day 1. The appearance of the test item in the test media was observed at the start of the test, on Day 1 in the old and the new test media and at the end of the test in the test media of all test concentrations. - Test organisms (species):

The cultivation of the parental daphnids was performed in reconstituted water of a similar quality with regards to pH, the constituent salts and total hardness as the test water used in the test. The test organisms were not first brood progeny. The daphnids in the stock culture were fed at least on all working days with green algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus) freshly grown in the laboratories of IBACON. - Test type:

At the highest test concentration of nominal 10 mg test item/L all 20 animals were immobile after 48 hours.
After 24 hours of test duration no immobilisation of the test animals was observed in the control and in the concentrations up to and including nominal 0.94 mg test item/L. At the nominal concentration of 2.1 mg test item/L one Daphnia was immobile and two daphnids were immobile at the nominal concentration of 4.5 mg test item/L. At the highest test concentration of nominal 10 mg test item/L 15 daphnids were immobile after 24 hours test duration. - Reported statistics and error estimates:

- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute toxicity of the test item on the mobility of Daphnia magna according to OECD 202 test guideline. Young daphnids (< 24 hours old) were exposed in a semi-static test to the test item for 48 hours, added to test water at a range of concentrations. The study comprised of 6 treatment groups (5 dose rates of the test item, control) each containing 20 individuals. Under otherwise identical test conditions, different concentrations of the test item result in different percentages of daphnids being no longer capable of swimming at the end of the test. The mobility of the daphnids was determined in a semi-static 48-hour test by visual observation after 24 and 48 hours. The samples collected at test start, after 24 hours and after 48 hours were analysed via TOC-method. The purpose of the analytical part of this study was to verify the concentrations of the test item in the test water. At day 0, 111 % of nominal was determined in the freshly prepared stock solution. At day one, 90 % were determined in the freshly prepared stock solution. All other values were below the Limit of Quantification. Since correct dosing of the stock solutions could be demonstrated and no further information is available, all reported results refer to nominal concentrations. After 48 hours of exposure no immobilisation of the test animals was observed in the control and up to and including the test item concentration of nominal 0.94 mg test item/L. At the nominal concentration of 2.1 mg test item/L two animals were immobile and 7 animals were immobile at the nominal concentration of 4.5 mg test item/L after 48 hours of exposure. At the highest test concentration of nominal 10 mg test item/L all 20 animals were immobile after 48 hours. The 48-hour NOEC was determined to be 0.94 mg test item/L. The 48-hour LOEC was determined to be 2.1 mg test item/L and the 48-hour EC50 value was calculated to be 4.58 mg test item/L.

Additional information
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute toxicity of the test item on the mobility of Daphnia magna according to OECD 202 test guideline. Young daphnids (< 24 hours old) were exposed in a semi-static test to the test item for 48 hours, added to test water at a range of concentrations. The study comprised of 6 treatment groups (5 dose rates of the test item, control) each containing 20 individuals. Under otherwise identical test conditions, different concentrations of the test item result in different percentages of daphnids being no longer capable of swimming at the end of the test. The mobility of the daphnids was determined in a semi-static 48-hour test by visual observation after 24 and 48 hours. The samples collected at test start, after 24 hours and after 48 hours were analysed via TOC-method. The purpose of the analytical part of this study was to verify the concentrations of the test item in the test water. At day 0, 111 % of nominal was determined in the freshly prepared stock solution. At day one, 90 % were determined in the freshly prepared stock solution. All other values were below the Limit of Quantification. Since correct dosing of the stock solutions could be demonstrated and no further information is available, all reported results refer to nominal concentrations. After 48 hours of exposure no immobilisation of the test animals was observed in the control and up to and including the test item concentration of nominal 0.94 mg test item/L. At the nominal concentration of 2.1 mg test item/L two animals were immobile and 7 animals were immobile at the nominal concentration of 4.5 mg test item/L after 48 hours of exposure. At the highest test concentration of nominal 10 mg test item/L all 20 animals were immobile after 48 hours. The 48-hour NOEC was determined to be 0.94 mg test item/L. The 48-hour LOEC was determined to be 2.1 mg test item/L and the 48-hour EC50 value was calculated to be 4.58 mg test item/L.
The reported effect concentrations refer to the commercial formulation containing 46.2% (w/w) of the REACH registration substance which reflects the test item used in the study.
