- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: An amount of test item (1000 mg) was added to the surface of 10 L of reconstituted water to give the 100 mg/L loading rate. After the addition of the test item, the reconstituted water was stirred by magnetic stirrer using a stirring rate such that a vortex was formed to give a dimple at the water surface. The stirring was stopped after 23 ours and the mixture allowed to stand for 1 hour. A wide bore glass tube, covered at one end with Nescofilm was submerged into the vessel, sealed end down to a depth of approximately 5 cm from the bottom of the vessel. A length of Tygon tubing was inserted into the glass tube and pushed through the Nescoseal. Microscopic inspection of the WAF showed no micro-dispersions or undissolved test item to be present. The aqueous phase or WAF was removed by mid-depth siphoning (the first approximate 75-100 mL discarded) to give the 100 mg/L loading rate WAF.

- Executive summary:
Introduction
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna. The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (April 2004) No 202, 'Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test' referenced as Method C.2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.
Methods
Due to the low aqueous solubility and complex nature of the test item, for the purposes of the test, the test item was prepared as a Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF).
Following a preliminary range-finding test, twenty daphnids (4 replicates of 5 animals) were exposed to a Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) of the test item at single nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L for 48 hours at a temperature of 22 °C to 25 °C under static test conditions. The number of immobilized Daphnia and any adverse reaction to exposure were recorded after 24 and 48 hours.
Results
Exposure of Daphnia magna to the test item gave EL*50 values of greater than 100 mg/L loading rate WAF. The No Observed Effect Loading Rate was 100 mg/L loading rate WAF. It was considered unnecessary and unrealistic to test at loading rates in excess of 100 mg/L loading rate WAF.
Analysis of the 100 mg/L loading rate WAF at 0 and 48 hours showed that measured concentrations of 0.0213 and 0.00463 mg/L were obtained respectively. Given that the toxicity cannot be attributed to a single component or a mixture of components, but to the test item as a whole, the results were based on nominal loading rates only.

Description of key information
One reliable study is available. In this study Daphnia magna were exposed to a Water Accommodated Fraction of the substance at a nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L under static conditions for 48 hours. The EL50(48 h) value was > 100 mg/L loading rate WAF. The substance is not acutely harmful to aquatic invertebrates.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One reliable study is available. In this study (Harris, 2013) performed under GLP according to OECD TG 202 and EC Method C.2, Daphnia magna were exposed to the substance under static conditions for 48 hours at a temperature of 22 °C to 25 °C. Due to the low aqueous solubility and complex nature of the test item, the test medium was prepared as a Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF). Following a preliminary range-finding test, twenty daphnids ( 4 replicates of 5 animals) were exposed to a WAF of the test material at a nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L. The number of immobilized Daphnia and any adverse reaction to exposure were recorded after 24 and 48 hours. The EL50 (48 h) value was > 100 mg/L loading rate WAF.
The results of this study are supported by data available for read-across substances fatty acid polyols (Fatty acids, C5-9, esters with pentaerythritol (EC 270-290-3, CAS 68424-30-6) and Decanoic acid, ester with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol octanoate (EC 234-392-1, CAS 11138-60-6)). The substance with the CAS No. 131459-39-7 is a structural analogue of one of the read-across substances (CAS No. 68424-30-6) and can be used for read-across also.
The justification for read-across is presented in Section 13 Assessment reports- Read-across justification.
Four studies, investigating the short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates of Decanoic acid, ester with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol octanoate (CAS-No. 11138-60-6), were available. These studies were conducted with Daphnia magna and according to OECD 202. All measured results from 48 -hour toxicity studies indicate the test substance is of low toxicity to Daphnia magna.
Häner (2007) determined EL 50 (48h) > 100 mg/L (WAF loading rate) and Kuttler (1998) observed no immobilisation at 10000 mg/L (EL50 > 10000 mg/L, WAF loading rate). Both other studies (Källquist 1995 and Craig 2005) calculated EL50 > 1000 mg/L (WAF loading rate) with an immobilisation under 50% at 1000 mg/L (Källquist: 32%; Craig: 45%). In addition, a 15-day reproduction test (Low, 1996, entered in 6.1.4) showed no immobile daphnia during the whole test duration at a WAF loading rate of 2570 mg/L. One other available test result (EC50 = 15.86 mg/L) should be evaluated with caution because the original report was not available and therefore the documentation was insufficient for assessment (Draguez, 1991). Nonetheless, all data show toxicities of Decanoic acid, ester with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol octanoate (CAS-No. 11138-60-6) far in excess of natural occurring concentrations (water solubility < 0.3 mg/L). Therefore, the substance is not harmful to aquatic invertebrates.
In an addition study on 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid mixed tetraesters with PE and valeric acid (CAS-No. 131459-39-7). In this GLP-study withDaphnia magnaaccording to OECD 202 (1984) no effect on immobilisation was observed at the tested WAF loading rates (Sewell and McKenzie, 2003). The observed EL50 (48h) > 1000 mg/L with a NOELR ≥ 1000 mg/L. Chemical analysis of the WAF loading rates at 0 and 48 h showed measured test concentrations less than or at the limit of quantification of the analytical method (< 0.032 mg/L).
