- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method:
Rrange finding test: a stock solution with a a loading rate of 100 mg/L was prepared. The stock solution was stirred for 48 h (magnetic stirring) followed by a stabilisation period of ~ 24 h. The resulting solution was clear and colourless with a floating layer. The water soluble fraction was syphoned off and the test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the saturated solution.
Limit tests (test 1 and test 2): a stock solution with a a loading rate of 100 mg/L was prepared. The pH was set to 6 before the stock solution was stirred for 24 h (magnetic stirring) followed by a stabilisation period of ~ 24 h. The resulting solution was clear and colourless with a floating layer.The water soluble fraction (WSF) was syphoned off and filtered through a glass fibre filter. The pH was re-adjusted from 6.4 to 6.0. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: M7 medium
- Intervals of water quality measurement: Dissolved oxygen and pH were measured at the beginning and at the end of the test. Temperature was measured continuously in a temperature control vessel, beginning at the start of the test.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: adjusted to pH 6.0
- Photoperiod: 16 h illumination
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED: Immobility was recorded after 24 and 48 h.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: 10
- Range finding study:
- Test concentrations: 100 mg/L loading rate syphoned test solution, dilutions containing 0.1, 1.0 and 10% of the syphoned test solution
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study:
The test resulted in 50% immobility of the daphnids at the 100 mg/L loading rate, which could be explained by a floating layer present in these test vessels. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Details on results:
- - Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: As in the static limit test the measured concentrations decreased after 48h test duration below the detection level and as the EC50 in the semi-static limit test is above the average measured test concentration it can be concluded that the EC50 value will be above the solubility of the substance in the test medium.

Description of key information
No toxic effects on aquatic invertebrates up to the limit of water solubility
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The acute toxicity of 2-Phenoxyethyl octanoate (CAS No. 23511-73-1) to aquatic invertebrates was tested in a GLP guideline study following OECD 202. The study report comprises a static limit test (test 1) and a semi-static limit test (test 2). Based on the results of a range finding study the selected nominal test substance concentration in both tests was 100 mg/L. A saturated solution was prepared siphoning off the phase containing the water soluble fraction of the test material and subsequent filtering of the solution. The test vessels were equipped with a net preventing the contact of Daphnids with a possible floating layer of undissolved test solution. The tests were terminated after 48 hours, immobile Daphnids were observed in neither of the two tests. Thus an EC50 (48 h) >100 mg/L based on the nominal test substance concentration was reported. Based on the mean measured concentrations an EC50 (48 h)> 72 mg/L was determined in test 1 (static test) and EC50 (48 h) > 0.51 mg/L was determined in test 2 (semi-static limit test).
Therefore of 2-Phenoxyethyl octanoate is considered not acutely toxic to aquatic invertebrates up to the limit of water solubility.
