- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- - Duplicate samples were taken (2 mL) in plastic tubes at the beginning and at the end of the first and last renewal periods from the control and at the applied test concentration levels.
- After sampling, samples were frozen and kept approximately at -20 °C at the Test Facility. One set of the samples was sent to the Test Site for analysis and one set was retained as a back-up at the Test Facility, if required for any confirmatory analyses (discarded after satisfactory results were obtained on the first set of).
- The study was performed as a static renewal test. During this 96-hour study the test substance was renewed four times. Analytical determinations were carried out at the start and the end of the first and of the last renewal cycle. A more frequent analysis was not considered necessary as measured values were close to nominal values. - Vehicle:
- no
- Remarks:
- (dilution water used as test medium)
- Details on test solutions:
- - Although the test material is well soluble in water, it precipitates in aquarium water. Precipitation was likely to be caused by the "encounter" of test material and dissolved calcium and magnesium content of the aquarium water (i.e. the hardness of the water). In case of filtration used, test material is not present in the "solution" practically. During the analytical method development micelle formation was observed at high concentration stock solution, so the concentration was above the critical micelle concentration (CMC) due to its chemical structure (anionic surfactant). Gel formation is predicted at high concentrations.
- Due to its chemical structure the above mentioned salt precipitation reaction occurs when the test material is placed into the aquarium water. For reasons detailed above the experiment was carried out in a different media, in which the test material could be kept in solution.
- Due to problems with preparation of test material stock solution (opalescent test solution and precipitation when trying to dissolve it in aquarium water) deionised water was used as a test medium instead of aquarium water.
- Prior to treatment, a stock solution with a concentration of 100 mg/L (nominal) was prepared with direct addition of the test material, mixed into the test medium using ultrasonic bath approximately for 5 minutes. The test solutions were prepared by appropriate diluting of this stock solution just before introduction of the fish.
- Because the test material is not stable over the 96h exposure period (based on the analytical method validation) the test was performed under semi-static conditions. The frequency of the water renewal periods was 24 hours. Prior to treatment of each renewal period, test material solutions were prepared by the method described above. - Test organisms (species):
- Danio rerio (previous name: Brachydanio rerio)
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Zebrafish
- Length at study initiation: 2.6 – 2.9 cm
- Weight at study initiation: 0.18-0.22 g
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: 12 days
- Health during acclimation: Fish were bred in a well-known fish farm, under diseaseand parasite-controlled conditions. Fish were observed during the acclimatisation and test periods, the fish were healthy. There was no mortality of the population for seven days before the test.
FEEDING DURING TEST
- The fish were not fed during the test - Test type:
- semi-static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 96 h
- Hardness:
- 12 mg/L (as CaCO3)
- Test temperature:
- 20.5 - 22.3 °C
- pH:
- 6.30 – 6.97
- Dissolved oxygen:
- - The dissolved oxygen concentration was in the range of 80 – 99 % of the air saturation value at the temperature used. Test solutions were aerated during the second renewal period to avoid decreasing of dissolved oxygen concentration below the accepted level.
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal: 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L
Measured: 5.9, 12.3, 25.9, 51.9 and 104.7 mg/L
As the measured concentrations deviated not more than 20 per cent from the nominal in all cases, the biological results are based on the nominal test material concentrations. - Details on test conditions:
- TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel: An aquarium
- Material, size, headspace, fill volume: 5 L test solution
- Renewal rate of test solution: every 24 hours
- No. of organisms per vessel: 7
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 1
- No. of vessels per control (replicates):1
- Biomass loading rate: The loading of the test aquaria was less than 1.0 g fish/L test solution at the start of the experiment.
TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: Deionised water was used as a test medium instead of aquarium water due to precipitation.
- Intervals of water quality measurement: The water temperature, oxygen concentration and pH were measured at the start and at the end of renewal periods in each test aquarium (where the fish were alive).
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: no
- Photoperiod: 16 hours light and 8 hours darkness
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED: The observations of fish were carried out in the following intervals: at 3, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Mortality and any sub-lethal effect were determined in each observation period.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
Range finding study:
- Test concentrations: 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 mg/L (nominal)
Four fish were exposed to each concentration of the test item plus a control, for 96 hours under semi-static conditions. The frequency of the water renewal periods was 24 hours.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: yes the choice of the test concentrations was made on the basis of the results of the preliminary range-finding test.
Definitive test:
- Because toxic response was observed at the highest examined concentration level during the preliminary range-finding test, five test concentrations in a geometric series (factor 2.0) and one control group were tested in the definitive study in a semi-static system. The frequency of the water renewal periods was 24 hours.
- The nominal concentrations of test item used in the main experiment were: 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L. - Reference substance (positive control):

- VALIDITY
The achievable validity criteria were within acceptable limits and therefore the study can be considered as valid:
- Constant conditions should be maintained in this procedure: Please see tables below.
- The mortality in the controls should not exceed 10 % at the end of the test (or one fish if less than ten are used). In case of limit test, no mortality should occur: No mortality occurred in the control group during the test.
- The dissolved oxygen concentration (throughout the test) has to be at least 60 % of air saturation value: The dissolved oxygen concentrations were between 80 and 99 % in all test groups.
- The concentration of the test item should be at least 80 % of the nominal concentration throughout the test. If the deviation from the nominal concentration is greater than 20%, results will be based on the measured concentration: The percentage of nominal concentration measured in the analytical test samples was 91.4 % to 104.8 %.
MORTALITY DATA
- Cumulative mortality data from the exposure of zebrafish to the test material during the definitive test are given in the table below.
OBSERVATIONS
- Behaviour of fish was found as normal in the control group and at the lowest tested concentration level of 6.25 mg/L (nominal).
- In the test material group of 12.5 mg/L (nominal) localization close to the surface of the water was observed 72 hours after the start of the experiment, while decreased activity, localisation at the bottom of the aquaria or close to the surface of the water, fast motility of operculum and immobility was noted at the test group of 25.0 mg/L (nominal) during the first 6 hours of the experiment and all fish died 24 hours after the start of the test.
- All fish were observed as dead 3 hours after the start of the experiment at the two highest concentration levels of 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L (nominal).
BODY WEIGHT
- There was no considerable difference observed concerning body weights between the groups. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours LC50 values were calculated by Probit analysis using SPSS PC+ software.
The NOEC, LOEC and LC100 were determined directly from the raw data. - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this acute fish toxicity study on Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) the observed and calculated endpoints for the effect of the test material were the following:
The 24h and 48h LC50 value: 17.85 mg/L (nominal) (95 % conf. limits: 12.01 – 24.75 mg/L)
The 72h and 96h LC50 value: 14.21 mg/L (nominal) (95 % conf. limits: 10.25 – 30.45 mg/L)
The 96h LC100 value: 25.0 mg/L (nominal)
The 96h No-Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC): 6.25 mg/L (nominal)
The 96h Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC): 12.5 mg/L (nominal) - Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test material was assessed with acute fish toxicity test on Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio), over an exposure period of 96 hours in a semi-static system. The test was performed in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 203, EU Method C.1 and OCSPP 850.1075, under GLP conditions.
Due to problems with preparation of test material stock solution (opalescent test solution and precipitation when trying to dissolve it in aquarium water) deionised water was used as a test medium instead of aquarium water.
Because significant toxicity was observed at the highest examined concentration level during the preliminary range-finding test, five test concentrations in a geometric series with a separation factor of 2.0 and one untreated control were tested in the main experiment under semi-static conditions. The frequency of the water renewal periods was 24 hours.
The nominal concentrations of test material used in the main experiment were: 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L. The test concentrations were analytically determined at the start and at the end of the first and at the last renewal periods. Concentration of the examined test groups of 25.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L (nominal) was only analysed during the first renewal period, when all animals were observed as dead. The corresponding measured geometric mean test material concentrations were: 5.9; 12.3; 25.9; 51.9 and 104.7 mg/L. As the measured concentrations deviated not more than 20 per cent from the nominal in all cases, biological results are based on the nominal test material concentrations.
One aquarium was used in each test group and one in the control group. Each aquarium comprised seven fish and five litre test solution. The 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours LC50 values of the test material were calculated using Probit analysis by SPSS PC+ software. The NOEC and LOEC and LC100 values were determined from the raw data.
All achievable validity criteria were met during this study.
Under the conditions of this acute fish toxicity study on Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) the observed and calculated endpoints for the effect of the test material were the following:
The 24h and 48h LC50 value: 17.85 mg/L (nominal) (95 % conf. limits: 12.01 – 24.75 mg/L)
The 72h and 96h LC50 value: 14.21 mg/L (nominal) (95 % conf. limits: 10.25 – 30.45 mg/L)

The 96h No-Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC): 6.25 mg/L (nominal)
The 96h Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC): 12.5 mg/L (nominal)

- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Because the test material is poorly soluble in water, a test solution was prepared using a saturated solution method according to the Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures, OECD No. 23.
- Saturated test material solution (100.0 mg/L nominal loading rate) was prepared by dispersing/dissolving the amount of test material into the test medium (aquarium water) two days before the start of the study. This solution was shaken for about 24 hours at approximately 30 °C and then equilibrated for about 24 hours at approximately 20 °C. The non-dissolved test material was removed by filtration through a fine (0.22 μm) filter to give appropriate 100 % saturated solution.
- As a Limit test was carried out, further dilution of stock solution was not performed.
- Since the test was performed under semi-static conditions, prior to the treatment, at each of the renewal periods, test material solution was prepared by the method described above.
- Test solutions renewals were performed at 24-hour intervals during the experiment. - Test organisms (species):
- Danio rerio (previous name: Brachydanio rerio)

- Intervals of water quality measurement: The water temperature, oxygen concentration and pH were measured at the start and at the end of the renewal periods during the experiment in each test aquarium.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: The light-dark cycle during the test was 16 hours light and 8 hours darkness.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED:
- The observations of fish were carried out in the following intervals: at 3, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours.
- The body weights of the fish were recorded before the introduction of fish. The loading of the aquaria was calculated on the basis of these body weights.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study: A preliminary concentration range-finding test was conducted to determine the approximate toxicity of the test material so that appropriate test concentrations could be selected for use in the definitive test. Four fish were exposed to each concentration of the test material plus a control, for 96 hours under semi-static conditions (with 24-hour renewal in absence of stability data).
- Test concentrations: 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 % saturated solution.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: Yes, because no toxic response was observed during the preliminary range-finding test, only one test concentration at the solubility level of the test material in the test medium (100.0 % saturated solution) and one control group was tested in the definitive study in a semi-static system. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test material had no toxic effect at aquatic saturation (1.48 mg/L, measured) on fish; the LC50 results and the LOEC are higher than the solubility level of the test material in the test medium.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test material to fish was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 203, EU Method C.1., EPA OCSPP 850.1075 and Japanese guidelines, under GLP conditions.
The acute toxicity of the test material was assessed with acute fish toxicity test on Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio), over an exposure period of 96 hours in a semi-static system.
Because no toxic response was observed during the preliminary range-finding test, only a Limit test was carried out using only one test concentration at the solubility level of the test material in the test medium (100.0 % saturated solution) and one control group in the definitive study under semi-static conditions.
The test concentration was analytically determined at the start and at the end of the renewal periods. The measured geometric mean test material concentration was 1.48 mg/L. The biological results are based on the nominal test material concentration.
One aquarium was used in the test group and one in the control group. Each aquarium comprised seven fish and five litre test solution.
All achievable validity criteria were met during this study.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material had no toxic effect at aquatic saturation (1.48 mg/L, measured) on fish; the LC50 results and the LOEC are higher than the solubility level of the test material in the test medium.

- Validity criteria fulfilled:

- Remarks:
- All validity criteria were fulfilled apart from those relating to test concentration maintenance. A suitable analytical method could not be derived to confirm the test concentrations.
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the test, no mortality was observed. The LOEC, LC50 and LC100 were all found to be greater than 100 % (v/v) saturated solution (100 mg/L nominal loading rate). The NOEC was determined to be 100 % (v/v) saturated solution (100 mg/L nominal loading rate).
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test material was determined in Zebrafish under semi-static conditions for 96 hours in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 203, EU Method C.3, EPA OPPTS 850.1075, JMAFF 2-7-1-1 and the Chemical Substance Control Law 1973. Due to the nature of the test material, the test concentrations for the study were prepared in accordance with the Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures, OECD No. 23. The study was performed under GLP conditions.
An initial range-finding test was performed which demonstrated no toxicity up to the highest concentration tested. Therefore a Limit test was performed for the highest achievable concentration in the definitive test. The test material was tested as a 100 % v/v saturated solution, prepared using a loading rate of 100 mg/L.
Seven fish were exposed to the 100 % (v/v) saturated solution for 96 hours. The test media was renewed at 24 hour intervals. Mortality and any sub-lethal effect were determined at 3, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours.
No mortality was seen in either the control group or the treated group. No abnormal behaviour was reported and there was no considerable difference observed concerning body weight between the control and treated group.
As a suitable analytical method could not be derived for this study, it was not possible to fulfil all the validity criteria stated by the quoted guidelines; however, all other validity criteria not dependent on confirming the maintenance of the test concentration were satisfactorily completed.
Under the conditions of the test, no mortality was observed. The LOEC, LC50 and LC100 were all found to be greater than 100 % (v/v) saturated solution (100 mg/L nominal loading rate). The NOEC was determined to be 100 % (v/v) saturated solution (100 mg/L nominal loading rate).

Supporting Study on Read-Across Substance HS-11P-T: Hajba-Horváth (2013)
In the supporting study Hajba-Horváth (2013), the acute toxicity of the test material was determined in Zebrafish under semi-static conditions for 96 hours in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 203, EU Method C.3, EPA OPPTS 850.1075, JMAFF 2-7-1-1 and the Chemical Substance Control Law 1973. Due to the nature of the test material, the test concentrations for the study were prepared in accordance with the Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures, OECD No. 23. The study was performed under GLP conditions. The study was therefore assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the principles for assessing data quality as defined in Klimisch et al. (1997).
An initial range-finding test was performed which demonstrated no toxicity up to the highest concentration tested. Therefore a Limit test was performed for the highest achievable concentration in the definitive test. The test material was tested as a 100 % v/v saturated solution, prepared using a loading rate of 100 mg/L.
Seven fish were exposed to the 100 % (v/v) saturated solution for 96 hours. The test media was renewed at 24 hour intervals. Mortality and any sub-lethal effect were determined at 3, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours.
No mortality was seen in either the control group or the treated group. No abnormal behaviour was reported and there was no considerable difference observed concerning body weight between the control and treated group.
As a suitable analytical method could not be derived for this study, it was not possible to fulfil all the validity criteria stated by the quoted guidelines; however, all other validity criteria not dependent on confirming the maintenance of the test concentration were satisfactorily completed.
Under the conditions of the test, no mortality was observed. The LOEC, LC50 and LC100 were all found to be greater than 100 % (v/v) saturated solution (100 mg/L nominal loading rate). The NOEC was determined to be 100 % (v/v) saturated solution (100 mg/L nominal loading rate).
Key Study on Read Across Substance HS-21P-T: Sipos (2018)
In the key study on target substance HS-21P-T Sipos (2018), the acute toxicity of the test material was assessed with acute fish toxicity test on Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio), over an exposure period of 96 hours in a semi-static system. The test was performed in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 203, EU Method C.1 and OCSPP 850.1075, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Due to problems with preparation of test material stock solution (opalescent test solution and precipitation when trying to dissolve it in aquarium water) deionised water was used as a test medium instead of aquarium water.
Because significant toxicity was observed at the highest examined concentration level during the preliminary range-finding test, five test concentrations in a geometric series with a separation factor of 2.0 and one untreated control were tested in the main experiment under semi-static conditions. The frequency of the water renewal periods was 24 hours.
The nominal concentrations of test material used in the main experiment were: 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L. The test concentrations were analytically determined at the start and at the end of the first and at the last renewal periods. Concentration of the examined test groups of 25.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L (nominal) was only analysed during the first renewal period, when all animals were observed as dead. The corresponding measured geometric mean test material concentrations were: 5.9; 12.3; 25.9; 51.9 and 104.7 mg/L. As the measured concentrations deviated not more than 20 per cent from the nominal in all cases, biological results are based on the nominal test material concentrations.
One aquarium was used in each test group and one in the control group. Each aquarium comprised seven fish and five litre test solution. The 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours LC50 values of the test material were calculated using Probit analysis by SPSS PC+ software. The NOEC and LOEC and LC100 values were determined from the raw data.
All achievable validity criteria were met during this study.
Under the conditions of this acute fish toxicity study on Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) the observed and calculated endpoints for the effect of the test material were the following:
The 24h and 48h LC50 value: 17.85 mg/L (nominal) (95 % conf. limits: 12.01 – 24.75 mg/L)
The 72h and 96h LC50 value: 14.21 mg/L (nominal) (95 % conf. limits: 10.25 – 30.45 mg/L)
The 96h LC100 value: 25.0 mg/L (nominal)
The 96h No-Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC): 6.25 mg/L (nominal)
The 96h Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC): 12.5 mg/L (nominal)
Supporting Study on Target Substance GS-11P-T: Sipos (2018)
In the supporting study on target substance GS-11P-T Sipos (2018), the acute toxicity of the test material to fish was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 203, EU Method C.1., EPA OCSPP 850.1075 and Japanese guidelines, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
The acute toxicity of the test material was assessed with acute fish toxicity test on Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio), over an exposure period of 96 hours in a semi-static system.
Because no toxic response was observed during the preliminary range-finding test, only a Limit test was carried out using only one test concentration at the solubility level of the test material in the test medium (100.0 % saturated solution) and one control group in the definitive study under semi-static conditions.
The test concentration was analytically determined at the start and at the end of the renewal periods. The measured geometric mean test material concentration was 1.48 mg/L. The biological results are based on the nominal test material concentration.
One aquarium was used in the test group and one in the control group. Each aquarium comprised seven fish and five litre test solution.
All achievable validity criteria were met during this study.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material had no toxic effect at aquatic saturation (1.48 mg/L, measured) on fish; the LC50 results and the LOEC are higher than the solubility level of the test material in the test medium.
