Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: 0.500 - 1.00 - 2.00 - 4.00 - 8.00 mg test item/L (dilution factor 2).
Expressed as concentrations of Glucamides based on the nominal content of 81.0 % (w/w) the test concentrations were:
0.405 – 0.810 – 1.62 – 3.24 – 6.48 mg Glucamides/L
- Sampling method: All concentration levels of the test item and the control were analysed via LC-MS/MS at the start of the exposure intervals on days 0, 7, 16 (0 h) and at the end of the exposure intervals on days 2, 9 (48 h), 19 (72 h). Samples of the longest exposure interval of 72 h were taken on day 16 (start of the exposure interval, 0 h) and day 19 (end of the exposure interval, 72 h) and analysed.
At the start of the exposure intervals (0 h), sampling was carried out after preparation of the test concentrations.
At the end of the exposure intervals (48 and 72 h), samples were taken from additional replicates without daphnids and food algae. The additional replicates were incubated under test conditions until sampling.
Recoveries of the test item should be within ± 20 % of the nominal concentrations. The effect levels are given based on the nominal concentrations of the test item and the sum of Glucamides (active content of 81.0% was taken into account), because the test item is an UVCB substance (i.e. substances of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological materials).
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: All original samples were stored at room temperature until preparation. Prepared samples were stored at room temperature until analysis, if necessary.

- - Mortality of parent animals:
The test item induced significant adult mortality of 100 % at the concentration level of 8.00 mg/L during the test period of 21 days. In the concentration levels of 0.500 to 2.00 mg/L and in the control, all parental daphnids survived until the end of the test after 21 days. At the concentration level of 4.00 mg/L, an adult mortality of 20 % was observed, which is not statistically significant (FISHER’S Exact Test).
The adult mortality was the only effect in this study. Based on the significant adult mortality of 100 % at the concentration level of 8.00 mg test item/L, the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) after 21 days was assessed at 4.00 mg test item/L, which corresponds to 3.24 mg Glucamides/L, and the Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) was assessed at 8.00 mg test item/L, which corresponds to 6.48 mg Glucamides/L.
The EC10 for the adult mortality was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression to be 3.82 mg test item/L (95 % confidence limits: 2.00 – 8.00 mg test item/L), which corresponds to 3.10 mg Glucamides/L (95% confidence limits: 1.62 – 6.48 mg Glucamides/L). The EC50 for the adult mortality was calculated accordingly to be 4.32 mg test item/L (95 % confidence limits: 2.00 – 8.00 mg test item/L), which corresponds to 3.50 mg Glucamides/L (95% confidence limits: 1.62 – 6.48 mg Glucamides/L). The EC100 for the adult mortality was 8.00 mg test item/L, which corresponds to 6.48 mg Glucamides/L.
- No. of offspring produced per day per female:
The number of stillborn juveniles and aborted eggs per surviving parental daphnid of the test and control groups are presented (please refer to the respective table). The fraction of dead juveniles (sum of stillborn juveniles and aborted eggs) expressed as a percentage, compared to the total number of produced juveniles (alive, stillborn juveniles and aborted eggs) of the surviving daphnids is presented in Table 7.
No stillborn juveniles or aborted eggs were observed in the control during the exposure period of 21 days. Related to the total number of produced juveniles (dead + alive) the percentage of dead juveniles was ≤ 3 % at the concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L.
- Body length and weight of parent animals:
The mean values of the body length of the surviving parental daphnids in the tested concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L were determined to be in the range of 4.88 to 5.09 mm per daphnid and 5.15 mm per daphnid in the control group.
The mean dry body weight of the surviving parental daphnids was determined to be in the range of 0.68 to 0.85 mg per daphnid in the concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L and 0.74 mg per daphnid in the control.
- Reproductive Output:
The number of juveniles in all replicates of the control and the test groups was counted and recorded every day.
The average number of living juveniles per surviving parental daphnid at the end of the test after 21 days was 110 in the control group. Effects concerning the reproductive output were not observed. There was no statistically significant difference at any of the tested concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L in comparison to the reproductive output in the control (One Way Analysis of Variance, DUNNETT’S method, p = 0.05).
At the concentration level of 8.00 mg test item/L, all daphnids died before producing juveniles.
The coefficient of variation of the number of living offspring produced per surviving parental daphnid was 7 % in the control. At the concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L, the coefficient of variation was in the range of 9 to 17 % . Generally in a well-run test, the coefficient of variation around the mean number of living offspring per parent animal should be ≤ 25 %.
EC-values were not calculated. The lack of significant effects combined with the lack of an effect level greater than 50 % makes the calculation of an EC10- or an EC50-value uncertain.
- Type and number of morphological / behavioural abnormalities: please refer to the respective table
- Time to first brood release or time to hatch:
The first appearance of living juveniles was observed between days 7 and 10 in all replicates of the control and the concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L. At the concentration level of 8.00 mg test item/L all parental daphnids died before appearance of the first brood.
At the tested concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L and the control, 5 broods with living juveniles were produced by the surviving parental daphnids. However, one parental daphnid at the concentration level of 0.500 mg test item/L produced 4 broods with living juveniles.
No males were observed in the control or in the test groups during the test.
No ephippia were observed in the control or in the test groups during the test. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? yes
- Relevant effect levels: EC50 (24 h) = 1.53 (CI 1.35 - 1.72) mg/L - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The NOEC and the LOEC based on the statistically significant adult mortality were deduced from the results of the statistical evaluation as described below.
Significant deviations were determined in comparison to the control using statistical standard procedures as normality test, equal variance test, analysis of variance and FISHER’S Exact Test. Prior to running the analysis of variance, a normality test and an equal variance test was performed. P-values of the normality and equal variance tests should be 0.05. For the determination of significant deviations of the number of living juveniles per parental daphnid, the P-values were > 0.05. The -value (acceptable probability of incorrectly concluding that there is a difference) was =0.05.
The determination of significant deviations of the number of living juveniles per parental daphnid was conducted with One Way Analysis of Variance, (P = 0.05). Additionally, statistical significance of the observed adult mortality was proven via FISHER’S Exact Test in comparison to the control.
The coefficients of variation around the mean number of living offspring produced per parent in the control and the test groups were evaluated.
The EC10- and the EC50-value for the adult mortality was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression with the software GraphPad prism5. The highest concentration level causing no adult mortality and the lowest concentration level producing 100% adult mortality were used as confidence limits, because only one partial effect was observed (only one concentration level with an effect > 0 % and < 100 %). An EC10 or EC50 for the reduction of the reproductive output was not calculated, due to the lack of significant effects. The EC50-value for the reference item was calculated accordingly. The confidence interval for the EC50-value of the reference item was calculated from the best-fit values, the standard error and the t-distribution with the software GraphPad prism5.
Any other information on results incl. tables
The measured water quality parameters (i.e. pH-value, dissolved oxygen concentration, total water hardness and water temperature) of the control and the highest tested concentration level of 8.00 mg test item/L were measured in one replicate. Due to 100 % adult mortality at the concentration level of 8.00 mg/L on day 5, the water quality parameters were determined at the concentration level of 4.00 mg/L thereafter.
Significant deviations of ≥1.5 units between initial and final pH values were not observed.
The incubator temperature was in the range of 19 to 21 °C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The adult mortality was the only effect in this study. Based on the significant adult mortality of 100 % at the concentration level of 8.00 mg test item/L, the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) after 21 days was assessed at 4.00 mg test item/L, which corresponds to 3.24 mg Glucamides/L, and the Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) was assessed at 8.00 mg test item/L, which corresponds to 6.48 mg Glucamides/L.
The EC10 for the adult mortality was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression to be 3.82 mg test item/L (95 % confidence limits: 2.00 – 8.00 mg test item/L), which corresponds to 3.10 mg Glucamides/L (95% confidence limits: 1.62 – 6.48 mg Glucamides/L).
The EC50 for the adult mortality was calculated accordingly to be 4.32 mg test item/L (95 % confidence limits: 2.00 – 8.00 mg test item/L), which corresponds to 3.50 mg Glucamides/L (95% confidence limits: 1.62 – 6.48 mg Glucamides/L). The EC100 for the adult mortality was 8.00 mg test item/L, which corresponds to 6.48 mg Glucamides/L.
Effects concerning the reproductive output were not observed. EC-values were not calculated. The lack of significant effects combined with the lack of an effect level greater than 50 % makes the calculation of an EC10- or an EC50-value uncertain.

TheDaphnia magna Reproduction Test (semi-static, 21 d) of the test item Glucamide CC (batch number:EK13/177) was conducted according to OECD 211 (2012) from2014-06-11 to 2014-07-02 at Dr.U.Noack-Laboratorien, Käthe-Paulus-Str.1, 31157 Sarstedt, Germany.
Test species was Daphnia magna STRAUS (Clone 5). Ten daphnids were used, individually held in ten replicates per concentration level, and control. At test start the daphnids were 2 to 24 hours old. The study was carried out undersemi-static conditions with a renewal of the test solutions three times per week. Aim of the Daphnia Reproduction Test over 21 days was to assess effects on the reproduction capacity and other test item-related effects or parameters such as adult mortality, intrinsic rate of natural increase, number of broods with living juveniles, first appearance of living juveniles, occurrence of aborted eggs and stillborn juveniles, body length and dry weight of the surviving parental daphnids.
The test item is an UVCB substance (substances of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological materials) and is slightly soluble in water at room temperature.
Nominal concentrations of the test item Glucamide CC were selected based on the results of an acute immobilisation test performed at the test facility [Noack, M. (2014):Glucamide CC-Acute Immobilisation Test to Daphnia magna, Static, 48 h(Unpublished Report:Study-No. DAI15922, Project-No.140326CS), Dr.U.Noack-Laboratorien, Sarstedt, Germany]. The chosen nominal test item concentrations areas follows:0.500-1.00-2.00-4.00-8.00 mg test item/L.
Based on the nominal content of 81.0 % (w/w) Glucamides in the UVCB substance, the test concentrations were:0.405–0.810–1.62–3.24–6.48 mg Glucamides/L.The concentrations of the main components C12-Glucamide and C14-Glucamide were analytically verified via LC-MS/MS at the start of the exposure intervals on days 0, 7, 16 (0 h) and at the end of the exposure intervals on days 2, 9 (48 h), 19 (72 h)in all concentration levels and the control.
The measured concentrations of the component C12-Glucamide at the start of the exposure intervals (0 h) were in the range of 81 to 118 % of the nominal values and 85 to 107 % of the nominal values at the end of the exposure intervals (48 and 72 h). The measured concentrations of the component C14-Glucamide at the start of the exposure intervals (0 h) were in the range of 82 to 115 % of the nominal values and 55 to 103 % of the nominal values at the end of the exposure intervals (48 and 72 h).
Nevertheless the effect levels are based on the nominal concentrations of the test itemGlucamide CC and the active components Glucamides (sum of glucamides).
The adult mortality was the only effect in this study. Based on the significant adult mortality of 100 % at the concentration level of 8.00 mg test item/L, the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) after 21 days was assessed at 4.00 mg test item/L, which corresponds to 3.24 mg Glucamides/L, and the Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) was assessed at 8.00 mg test item/L, which corresponds to 6.48 mg Glucamides/L.
· The test item induced significant adult mortality of 100 % at the concentration level of 8.00 mg test item/L during the test period of 21 days.In the concentration levels of 0.500 to 2.00 mg test item/L and in the control, all parental daphnids survived until the end of the test after 21 days. At the concentration level of 4.00 mg test item/L, an adult mortality of 20 % was observed, which is not statistically significant (Fisher’sExact Test).
The EC10for the adult mortality was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression to be 3.82 mg test item/L (95 % confidence limits: 2.00 – 8.00 mg test item/L), which corresponds to 3.10 mg Glucamides/L (95% confidence limits: 1.62 – 6.48 mg Glucamides/L). The EC50for the adult mortality was calculated accordingly to be 4.32 mg test item/L (95 % confidence limits: 2.00 – 8.00 mg test item/L), which corresponds to 3.50 mg Glucamides/L (95% confidence limits: 1.62 – 6.48 mg Glucamides/L). The EC100for the adult mortality was 8.00 mg test item/L, which corresponds to 6.48 mg Glucamides/L.· The average number of living juveniles per surviving parental daphnid at the end of the test after 21 days was 110 in the control group. Effects concerning the reproductive output were not observed. There was no statistically significant difference at any of the tested concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L in comparison to the reproductive output in the control (One Way Analysis of Variance, p = 0.05). At the concentration level of 8.00 mg test item/L, all daphnids died before producing juveniles.
EC-values were not calculated. The lack of significant effects combined with the lack of an effect level greater than 50 % makes the calculation of an EC10- or an EC50-value uncertain.· The coefficient of variation of the number of living offspring produced per surviving parental daphnid was 7 % in the control. At the concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L, the coefficient of variation was in the range of 9 to 17 % . Generally in a well-run test, the coefficient of variation around the mean number of living offspring per parent animal should be ≤ 25 %.
· The intrinsic rates of natural increase (IR) of the surviving parental daphnids accounting for generation time and number of offspring were used for calculation of population growth and maintenance.
· The first appearance of living juveniles was observed between days 7 and 10 in all replicates of the control and the concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L. At the concentration level of 8.00 mg test item/L all parental daphnids died before appearance of the first brood.At the tested concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L and the control, 5 broods with living juveniles were produced by the surviving parental daphnids. However, one parental daphnid at the concentration level of 0.500 mg test item/L produced 4 broods with living juveniles.
· No stillborn juveniles or aborted eggs were observed in the control during the exposure period of 21 days. Related to the total number of produced juveniles (dead + alive) the percentage of dead juveniles was ≤ 3 % at the concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L.
· The mean values of the body length of the surviving parental daphnids in the tested concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L were determined to be in the range of 4.88 to 5.09 mm per daphnid and 5.15 mm per daphnid in the control group.
The mean dry body weight of the surviving parental daphnids was determined to be in the range of 0.68 to 0.85 mg per daphnid in the concentration levels of 0.500 to 4.00 mg test item/L and 0.74 mg per daphnid in the control .
· No males or ephippia (winter eggs) were observed in the control or in the test groups.
· Water quality parameters (i.e. pH-value, dissolved oxygen concentration, total water hardness and temperature) were within the acceptable limits.
· In order to prove the validity of the test system and test conditions at the test facility, an acute immobilisation test according to AQS P 9/2 (02/2000) and OECD 202 is monthly carried out with potassium dichromate as reference item.
The EC50of the reference item was1.53 mg/L (95% confidence limits: 1.35 - 1.72 mg/L) after 24 hours and therefore within the prescribed concentration range of 0.6 - 2.4 mg/L of quality criteria according to AQS P 9/2 (02/2000) for daphnids clone 5 cultured in Elendt M4 medium. The EC50-value of the reference item is also within the recommended range of 0.6 - 2.1 mg/L according to OECD-Guideline 202.A summary of all test item related effects and the assessed effect levels based on the nominal concentrations of the test item Glucamide CC and the active components (sum of glucamides) is given in the table below.
