- Justification for type of information:
- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
This read-across is based on the hypothesis that source and target substances have similar physicochemical, ecotoxicological and toxicological properties because
• they are manufactured from similar or identical precursors under similar conditions
• they share structural similarities with common functional groups: methacrylate esters
• the metabolism pathway leads to comparable products (methacrylic acid and medium chain alcohol).
Therefore, read-across from the existing physicochemical, ecotoxicity and toxicity studies on the source substances is considered as an appropriate adaptation to the standard information requirements of REACH regulation

- Relevant effect levels:
In order to prove the validity of the test system and test conditions at the testing facility, an acute immobilisation test according to DIN 38412 L11
was carried out with potassium dichromate as reference item once per month. The EC50 of the reference item at 1.84 mg/L (1.74 - 1.95
(95% confidence interval)) after 24 hours was within the validity range of 1.0 to 2.5 mg/L according to DIN 38412 L30. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The NOEC at the limit concentration for the reproduction was determined directly from the results.
Significant deviations concerning reproduction were determined in comparison to the control group using statistical standard procedures (One Way Analysis of Variance, p < 0.05 for reproduction rate and intrinsic rate of natural increase and KRUSKAL-WALLISS ANOVA on Ranks, p < 0.05 for the
day of release of first brood). Significant deviations concerning the body length were determined in comparison with the control group using
KRUSKAL-WALLISS ANOVA on Ranks, p < 0.05. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- At the limit concentration of nominal 10 µg/L, corresponding to the time weighted mean measured concentration of 5.73 µg/L, above the water solubility level and > LOQ (< 1 µg/L) no effects of Dodecyl methacrylate on reproduction and immobilisation of daphnids was determined.

Description of key information
At the limit concentration of nominal 10 µg/l, corresponding to the time weighted mean measured concentration of 5.73 µg/l and above the water solubility level, no effects on reproduction and immobilisation of daphnids were determined in a 21-day-chronic toxicity study with Daphnia magna.

Additional information
No experimental data are available for the taregt substance Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate. However, a long-term toxicity study in Daphnia was conducted with the closely related source substance Dodecyl methacrylate. A justification for read-across is given in the endpoint summary "Aquatic toxicity".
The 21-day-chronic toxicity of dodecyl methacrylate to Daphnia magna STRAUS was studied under semi static conditions according to OECD guideline 211. Daphnids were exposed to dodecyl methacrylate at a limit concentration of 10 µg/L (nominal).
This concentration is higher than the solubility in water (< 1 µg/L) but has, nevertheless, been chosen with regard to the feasibility of
attaining appropriate and detectable test concentrations at 10 µg/L.
10 test organisms, individually held were used for the limit concentration and control. At test start they were 2 to 24 hours old. The test method was semi-static. Test solutions were renewed daily.
Concentrations of dodecyl methacrylate in the stock solution, limit concentration and control of fresh (0 h) and old (24 h) media were determined via HPLC. Samples were taken and analysed on days 0, 7, 16, 20 (fresh media) and on days 1, 8, 17, 21 (old media). The test item concentrations decreased within 24 h. All effect values were given based on the time weighted mean measured concentration for the limit concentration of 5.73 µg/L.
The average number of juveniles per parent in the control group was 85 after 21 days. The reproductive output at the limit concentration was not statistically significant reduced compared to the control (One Way Analysis of Variance, p < 0.05).
The coefficient of variation around the mean number of living offspring produced per parent in the control group was 5.02 % and shows very small variances between the control replicates.
No winter eggs, males, ephippia, stillborn juveniles and aborted eggs occurred in control or test groups.
The mean day of release of first brood was 9 in the control group and the limit concentration. There was no difference between the two groups. At the limit concentration and the control group 4 broods were released during the test period.
The intrinsic rates of natural increase (IR) of the surviving parent animals accounting for generation time and offspring numbers were used for calculation of population growth. The mean IR of the surviving daphnids of the limit concentration was compared to the control by One Way Analysis of Variances (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference. The intrinsic rate was comparable for the control and limit concentration.
The no observed effect concentration (NOEC) after 21 days based on reproduction capacity is the tested limit concentration of 5.73
µg/L. No statistically significant test item related effects were observed at the limit concentration when compared to the control
group. No immobilisation of parent animals occurred in the control or test group.
Water quality parameters as pH-value, dissolved oxygen, water hardness and temperature were determined to be within the acceptable limits.
In order to prove the validity of the test system and test conditions at the testing facility, an acute immobilisation test according to DIN 38412 L11 was carried out with potassium dichromate as reference item once per month. The EC50 of the reference item at 1.84 mg/L after 24 hours was within the validity range of 1.0 to 2.5 mg/L according to DIN 38412 L30.
This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for a chronic toxicity study with freshwater invertebrates.
