- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations:
Control, 0.52, 1.6, 5.2, 16, 52 and 164 mg/L (corresponding to 0.32, 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg sulfosuccinate/L)
- Sampling method:
For measurement of the actual concentrations of the test item, duplicate samples were taken from the test media of all test concentrations at the start of the test (without algae) and at the end of the test (containing algae). At the same sampling times, duplicate samples were also taken from the control. For the 72-hour stability samples, additional flasks containing the test medium with algae were incubated for each treatment under the test conditions. This was necessary as the volume of test solution of the treatment replicates (3 x 15 mL) was too small to perform the analyses.
The concentrations of the test item Butanedioic acid, sulfo-, 1,4-diisodecyl ester, sodium salt were determined in one of the duplicate test medium samples from the nominal test concentrations of 5.2 to 164 mg/L. The samples from the nominal test concentrations of 0.52 and 1.6 mg/L were not analyzed, since these concentrations were below the NOEC determined in this test. From the control samples, one of the duplicate samples was analyzed per sampling time.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis:
All samples were stored deep-frozen (at about -20 °C) immediately after sampling until analysis. In pre-experiments for investigation of the storage stability of the samples (non-GLP), the test item proved to be stable under these storage conditions. - Vehicle:

- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The test medium of the highest nominal concentration of 164 mg/L (corresponding to 100 mg sulfosuccinate/L) was prepared by dissolving 164.32 mg of the test item completely in 1000 mL of test water using ultrasonic treatment for 15 minutes and intense stirring for 15 minutes at room temperature. The test medium of the highest test concentration was used in a series of dilutions with test water to prepare the test media of the lower test concentrations. The test media were prepared just before the start of the test.
- Controls: dilution water only
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): None. However, the measured concentrations of the test item in the test media of the nominal test concentrations of 5.2 to 164 mg/L were between 78 and 104 % of the nominal values at the start of the test. During the test period of 72 hours, a decrease of test item concentration in the test media occurred. At the end of the test,- Test organisms (species):

- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: no- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- For evaluation of the algal quality and experimental conditions, potassium dichromate is tested as a positive control twice a year to demonstrate satisfactory test conditions. The result of the latest positive control test performed in September 2012 showed that the sensitivity of the test system was within the internal historical range (72-hour EC50 for the growth rate: 0.69 mg test item/L (Harlan Laboratories Study D64300), range of the 72-hour EC50 for the growth rate from 2000 to 2012: 0.64-1.1 mg test item/L).
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The 72 -hour EC10, EC20 and EC50 values for the inhibition of average growth rate and yield and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated by Probit Analysis using linear maximum likelihood regression.
For the determination of the LOEC and NOEC, the average growth rate and yield at the test concentrations were compared to the control values by Williams t-test.In the control, the biomass increased by a factor of 41 over 72 hours. The validity criterion of increase of biomass by at least a factor of 16 within three days was fulfilled. The mean coefficient of variation of the daily growth rates in the control (section-by-section growth rates, Table 4) during 72 hours was 22%. According to the OECD test guideline, the mean coefficient of variation must not be higher than 35%. Thus, the validity criterion was fulfilled. The coefficient of variation of the average specific growth rates in the replicates of the control after 72 hours was 2.4%. According to the OECD test guideline, the coefficient of variation must not be higher than 7%. Thus, the validity criterion was fulfilled.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Executive summary:
In the Klimisch 1 GLP study from Eckenstein (2013) the toxicity of Butanedioic acid, sulfo-, 1,4-diisodecyl ester, sodium salt to Desmodesmus subspicatus was determined in a static 72-Hour Algal Growth Inhibition Test. The test was performed according to OECD 201 and EU Method C.3. The nominal concentrations of the test item of 0.52, 1.6, 5.2, 16, 52 and 164 mg/L (corresponding to 0.32, 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg sulfosuccinate/L) were tested in parallel with a control. Dose verification analysis was performed . The measured concentrations of the test item in the test media of the nominal test concentrations of 5.2 to 164 mg/L were between 78 and 104 % of the nominal values at the start of the test. During the test period of 72 hours, a decrease of test item concentration in the test media occurred. At the end of the test, <LOQ (LOQ=2.89 mg/L) to 86% of the nominal values were found. Losses of the test item may result due to adsorption of the test item onto the algae and the test vessels, particularly in the low-level samples. In order to determine the growth of the cultures, the cells were counted using a coulter counter. The cell density was determined at 0, 24, 48 and 72 hours. The growth of the control cultures fulfilled the validity criteria from OECD 201 (2006). The 72 -hour ErC10 and ErC50 are 7.8 and > 93 mg active substance/L (highest tested concentration) based on the mean measured concentration.
This information is considered to be relevant and reliable for the further risk assessment.
