Conclusions:

The effect concentration (EC50) for the substance is estimated to be 142.26 mg/L on the basis of effects of intoxication at 20 degree C. 
Based on this value, it can be concluded that the test chemical 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid can be considered as non toxic to invertebrate at environmentally relevant concentrations and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

Additional information

Various predicted studies for 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid(CAS no 535-87-5) and read across studies were reviewed to summarize the following information:

 

The short-term toxicity of the 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid to invertebrate is predicted using QSAR toolbox version.3.4, based on the effects observed in a static freshwater system during a 48 hr exposure.The effect concentration (EC50) for the substance is estimated to be 142.26 mg/L on the basis of effects of intoxication at 20 degree C. 

Another prediction of short-term toxicity of the 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid to invertebrate is predicted using EPI suite, ECOSAR version 1.1, based on the effects observed in a static freshwater system during a 48 hr exposure. The lethal concentration (LC50) for the substance is estimated to be 10099.964 mg/L.

 

Read across chemicals 1,3-Benzenediamine (108-45-2) and 3,5-Xylidine(108-69-0) both having 50-60 % structural similarity with target, studies were performed from J-check( Results of Ecotoxicity tests of chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan,1997 and 2001.)

Short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was performed according to the OECD guideline 202. The EC 50 value for m-phenylenediamine (108-45-2) and for 3, 5-Xylidine (108-69-0) was determined to be 2 mg/l and 2.2 mg/l. Based on the result, the m-phenylenediamine and 3, 5-Xylidine (108-69-0) was considered to be classified but as they are readily biodegradable, they can be considered to non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates and considered to be not classified according to the CLP regulations.

 

Based on the above prediction reports of target and studies of read across chemicals m-phenylenediamine (108-45-2) and 3,5-Xylidine(108-69-0) as both having 50-60 % structural similarity with target.

As all the above evidences suggests the target classification, so based on the results it was considered that 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid was not hazardous to aquatic invertebrates and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP regulations.
