The test substance hydrolyses in water and it is therefore likely that the test organisms were primarily exposed to the hydrolysis products of the substance.

Description of key information
Short-term toxicity to invertebrates: 48-hour EC50 6.7 mg/l (measured as TOC) (EC Guideline 92/69/EWG C2), mobility of Daphnia magna. The EC50 is equivalent to 5.3 mg/l when expressed in terms of the silanol hydrolysis product.

Additional information
A 48-hour EC50 value of 6.7 mg/l (measured as TOC) has been determined for the effects of the registration substance on mobility of Daphnia magna, conducted in accordance with EU Method C.2 (Acute Toxicity for Daphnia) and in compliance with GLP (Hüls 1995). In view of the test media preparation method and exposure regime, it is likely that the test organisms were exposed predominantly to the hydrolysis products of the tested substance.
It is evident from the low recovery (as DOC) that a significant proportion of the test material was removed by filtration, and at the loading concentration used in preparation of stock, it is expected that oligomers and/or cross-linked aggregates may have been present to some extent, which would be consistent with this. While this is an uncertainty, it is considered that the study results in terms of geometric mean measured concentrations are suitable to be used (with caution), with effects attributed in principle to intrinsic ecotoxicity of silanol.
The results may be expressed in terms of concentration of the hydrolysis product, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propanethiol, by applying a molecular weight correction: (MW of silanol = 154.26 / MW of parent = 196.34) * 6.7 = 5.3 mg/l.
The reliability of two other EC50 values of 4 and 84 mg/l, that were obtained from the open literature, could not be determined.
To support the proposed long-term read-across data, short-term aquatic toxicity data with 3-(triethoxysilyl)propanethiol (CAS 14814-09-6, EC No. 238-883-1) are included, for comparison of aquatic effects between the registered and read-across substances.
A 48-hour EC50 value of 2.71 mg/l has been determined for the effects of 3-(triethoxysilyl)propanethiol (CAS 14814-09-6) on mobility of Daphnia magna, conducted in accordance with OECD TG 202 and in compliance with GLP (Noack 2020). This value is equivalent to 1.75 mg/l when expressed in terms of the silanol hydrolysis product, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propanethiol).
During the test with 3-(triethoxysilyl)propanethiol (CAS 14814-09-6), it is likely that the Daphnia were exposed predominantly to the parent substance, especially at the beginning of the tests, with increasing amounts of hydrolysis products towards the end of the test media renewal period.
Refer to IUCLID Section 6, CSR Section 7.0, for further discussion of the approach to chemical safety assessment for this registration substance.
