- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The percentage immobility for the reference item was determined after 24 h. The EC50-value with 95 % confidence interval (CI) was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression. The EC50-value for the most recent of the monthly performed reference tests was:
EC50: 2.05 mg/L (CI 1.90 - 2.18 mg/L)
The EC50-value of the reference item potassium dichromate after 24 h is 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.

Measured Exposure Concentrations during the Definitive Test
The concentrations of the test item4,4’-Ethylenedianiline (DABY) were analytically verified via LC-MS/MS at the start of the exposure (0 h) and at the end of the exposure (48 h) in all concentration levels and the control.
The measured concentrations of the test item at the start of the exposure (0 h) were in the range of 100 to 111 % of the nominal values. At the end of the exposure (48 h), the measured concentrations of the test item were in the range of 96 to 102 % of the nominal values.The analytical results are presented in the table below.
The measured test item concentrations were all within ±20 % of the nominal concentrations. This indicates that the test item concentrations were successfully maintained for the duration of the test.

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Based on the nominal concentrations of the test item 4,4’-Ethylenedianiline (DABY), the 48 h-EC50 for Daphnia magna was 167 µg/L (95 % confidence limits: 162 – 172 µg/L).

The measured concentrations of the test item at the start of the exposure (0 h) were in the range of 100 to 111 % of the nominal values. At the end of the exposure (48 h), the measured concentrations of the test item were in the range of 96 to 102 % of the nominal values.The analytical results arepresented.
The measured test item concentrations were all within ±20 % of the nominal concentrations. This indicates that the test item concentrations were successfully maintained for the duration of the test. The effect levels given are based on the nominal concentrations of the test item4,4’-Ethylenedianiline (DABY).
