- Details on test solutions:
- - Elendt M7 medium solvent for the test item
- The test item is soluble only in concentrated sulfuric acid
- The solubility limit of the test item is 91 μg/L (i.e. 0.091 mg/L) in water. After sonication, heating and shaking the powder test item in the test medium is visually a heterogeneous suspension.
- The mixture of 10 mg/L was prepared by weighing the powder test item and transferring it into a flask by multiple washing with test medium. The mixture was sonicated for 15 min at 40°C.

Description of key information
The substance is with high probability chronically not harmful to aquatic invertebrates.
No toxic effects occur at the range of the substance solubility.
NOEC (21d) >= 10 mg/L (nominal) for Daphnia magna reproduction (OECD 211)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The long-term aquatic toxicity was investigated in a GLP guideline study according to OECD 211 for one ‘red disazo condensation pigment’ (PR221) [lnstitute of lndustrial Organic Chemistry, Branch Pszczyna, 2012]. The waterfleas (Daphnia magna) were exposed under semi-static conditions to 10 mg/L substance (nominal). Based on reproduction and mortality no effects observed during the 21 days of test duration.
