- Details on test solutions:
- The test substance 100 mg was accurately weighed with an electric analytical balance, and dissolved in distilled water to prepare the test substance solution at the concentration of 1,000 mg/L. The resultant solution was diluted with the dilution water to prepare the test substance solutions at the concentrations of 100 and 5.00 ml/L.
The necessary amount of the test substance was added in the previously cooled purified water, the test substance stock solution at the concentration of 10,000 mg/L was prepared. This test substance stock solution was properly diluted with the purified water to prepare the test stock solutions per each concentration area (100 mg/L area, 1,000 mg/L; 50.0 mg/L area, 500 mg/L; 25.0 mg/L area, 250 mg/L; 12.5 mg/L area, 125 mg/L). During the exposure period, the test stock solution was stored in a refrigerator. The test solutions were prepared by mixing the test stock solution with the dilution water by a constant flow rate (the test stock solution; 2.5 mL/minute, the dilution water; 22.5 mL/minute). The flow rate of the test stock solution was controlled by using a metered pump, and the flow rate of the dilution water was adjusted with use of a flow volume adjusting cock and a capillary tube. - Test organisms (species):

- Details on results:
- - Toxicological symptoms and feed-intake: no effects
Since the test solution was opaque which was responsible for difficult observation, the test fishes were transferred to the test vessels containing only the test water at the end of exposure, followed by confirmation of toxicological symptoms or abnormality. However, the results showed no symptoms.
- Weights of surviving test organisms at the end of exposure: no significant difference compared control group (p = 0.05, Statistical method: One-way analysis of variance)
- Maximum no observed effect concentration: both of the minimum lethal concentration and the minimum effective concentration were >100 mg/L. Even at the highest concentration (100 mg/L) in this test, there was no significant difference in terms of the surviving individual organisms relative to those in the control area. Based on these results, the maximum no observed effect concentration (NOEC) in this test was judged to be not less than 100 mg/L. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- NA
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Weights of surviving test organisms at the end of exposure: p = 0.05, Statistical method: One-way analysis of variance
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Neither effects on behavior nor deaths were observed at test substance concentrations up to 100 mg/L. Hence, Reactive Black 5 is not toxic to fish.
- Executive summary:
This test was conducted in accordance with the OECD guideline for testing of chemicals No. 204 “Fourteen-day subacute toxicity test in fish” (1984).

- 100 mg/L
Additional information
In a GLP-compliant fish prolonged toxicity test, the test substance was assessed according to OECD Guideline 204 (publication from Ministry of the Environment Government of Japan). Freshwater fish, Oryzias latipes, were exposed for 14 days to 100, 50.0, 25.0, 12.5 mg/L concentration of test material. Median lethal concentration for 14 days (LC50) and NOEC was determined to be >100 mg/L.
Reactive Black 5 rapidly degrades to its oxy-form in water. It is therefore reasonable to test this main metabolite in aquatic toxicity tests. Data from a read across substance generated by following an OECD 204 guideline in compliance to GLP is taken into consideration here to analyze the toxicity of the test substance. In the fish prolonged toxicity test, freshwater fish, Brachydanio rerio were exposed for 28 days to 0, 10, 33, 100 mg/L concentration of test material. Signs of intoxication were observed at 33 and 100 mg/L. The limit concentration for mortality was 100 mg/L, the limit concentration for adverse effects was 33 mg/L. At 10 mg/L, there were no adverse effects observed.
Considering the results from the above studies, chronic LC50 and NOEC to freshwater fish was determined to be >100 mg/L.
