- Concentration of vehicle in test medium (stock solution and final test solution(s) or suspension(s) including control(s)): A stock solution (3.16 mg/L of the test item were weighed out) was stock solution freshly prepared with test medium (as specified below) for each exposure interval. The stock solution was stirred with a magnetic stirrer (1100 rpm for 30 minutes at room temperature) and was used for preparation of the test concentrations. 6 concentration levels of the test item in a geometric series with a separation factor of √10, prepared by diluting the stock solution of 3.16 mg/L with test medium (as specified below), were tested as follows: 0.0100 - 0.0316 - 0.100 - 0.316 - 1.00 - 3.16 mg/L corresponding to 0.000460 – 0.00145 – 0.00460 – 0.0145 – 0.0460 – 0.145 mg pure compound/L. The concentrations were based on the results of a preliminary test.

- Light intensity: Max. 1500 lx
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
Mortality of parental : The number of parental daphnids, which were immobilized or dying daphnids during the test and the dates of death were observed and recorded once a day at least at the same time as the offspring was counted. Dead specimens were removed as soon as they were detected.
Offspring: First appearance of juveniles was checked daily. The number of neonates (alive and dead progeny) was counted and dates of release were recorded once a day from the first day of appearance of neonates until the end of the test. The neonates (alive and dead) were removed after counting and before addition of algae to prevent them from consuming food intended for the adults. The number of aborted eggs or dead offspring and dates of observation were recorded.
Additional observations /Abnormalities (e.g. abnormal swimming behavior, number of males Condition of parental and winter eggs) were observed and recorded on each day of daphnids observation.
Total body length / Mean dry : At the end of the test, the total length excluding the anal spine of weight of parental daphnids each survived parental daphnid and the mean dry weight of the survived parental daphnids of all test concentrations and the control were determined. As stated in the OECD protocol, this may be useful additional information but is not used for determination of a NOEC.
Additional endpoints: The time to first brood, the intrinsic rate of population increase and the number and size of first brood per animal were reported, but not used for endpoint calculations.

- Details on results:
- - Behavioural abnormalities:
- Observations on body length and weight: The mean values of the body length (excluding the anal spine) of the survived parental daphnids in all tested concentration levels were in the range of 4.60 to 4.73 mm per daphnid and 4.78 mm per daphnid in the control group.
The mean dry weight of the survived parental daphnids was in the range of 0.850 to 0.970 mg per daphnid in all tested concentration levels and 1.02 mg per daphnid in the control
- Other biological observations: The first appearance of living juveniles was observed between days 8 and 12 at all survived parental daphnids of the control and all tested concentration levels. Stillborn juveniles and aborted eggs were observed during the exposure period of 21 days. No males were observed in the control or in the test groups during the test. No ephippia were observed in the control or in the test groups during the test.
- Mortality of control: Accidental and inadvertent mortality as defined in the OECD test guideline were not observed.
Adult mortality was not observed in the control and the nominal pure compound concentrations of 0.460, 1.45, 4.60 and 46.0 µg/L. At the pure compound concentration 14.5 and 145 µg/L, mortalities of 10 and 20 % of the introduced adults was observed, respectively. A statistical significant difference was found for this parameter at the highest concentration of 145 µg/L, when tested with the step-down Cochran-Armitage test procedure (α = 0.05). - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? yes, The percentage of immobility for the reference item potassium dichromate (SIGMA-ALDRICH, batch number MKBV0900V, purity 99.0%, CAS RN 7778-50-9) was determined after 24 hours from 2018-03-13 to 2018-03-14.
- Relevant effect levels: EC50 = 1.66 mg/L, Confidence limits = 1.00 - 4.00 mg/L, Valid Range: 0.6 - 2.4 mg/L, acc. to AQS P 9/2 (02/2000); clone 5; 0.6 - 2.1 mg/L, acc. to OECD 202 (2004); clone A - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The NOEC and LOEC for the reproduction and the adult mortality were determined with the software ToxRat Professional as specified below.
Significant deviations of reproduction were determined in comparison to the control using statistical standard procedures as normality test (Shapiro-Wilk’s test), variance homogeneity test (Levene’s test) and a one-sided smaller multiple sequentially-rejective median test after Bonferroni-Holm (for reproduction).
Prior to running the multiple test, a normality test, a variance homogeneity test and a trend analysis were performed. P values of the normality and the variance homogeneity test were 0.01 and 0.05 for the trend analysis. The α-value (acceptable probability of incorrectly concluding that there is a difference) was α = 0.01 for the normality test and the variance homogeneity test and α = 0.05 for the trend analysis. For the effects on reproduction, the juveniles per introduced parent at the start of the exposure excluding accidental and inadvertent mortality (reproductive output) were calculated. Since no accidental and inadvertent mortality was observed, no parental daphnids were excluded from the evaluation of the reproductive output. The effects on reproduction per survived parental animal at the end of the test were also calculated. For the determination of significant deviations of the adult mortality, step-down Cochran-Armitage test procedure was used. The coefficients of variation around the mean number of living offspring produced per introduced parent and per survived parent in the control and the test groups were evaluated.
All effect levels (NOEC, LOEC, EC10 / 50 / 100 and LC20 / 50 / 100) given are based on nominal concentrations of the pure compound of the test item. The EC10 / 50-values for the reproductive output were empirically EC-/LC-values derived from the observed data, since no significant reduction was observed. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The effects on reproduction were evaluated based on the reproduction per introduced animal, since the ecologically most relevant response variable is the total number of living offspring produced per parent animal which does not die accidentally or inadvertently during the test.
The overall effect threshold for effects of the test item under the test conditions was >145 µg/L (EC20 adults mortality, EC10 reproduction) 46.0 µg/L (NOEC adult mortality) and 145 µg/L (LOEC reproduction and LOEC adults mortality) based on the nominal concentrations of the pure compound of the test item HH-2014-548. - Executive summary:
The 21-day-chronic toxicity of HH-2014-548 to Daphnia magna was studied under semi-static conditions. Test species were exposed to control and test chemical at nominal concentrations of 0.000460 – 0.00145 – 0.00460 – 0.0145 – 0.0460 – 0.145 mg pure compound/L. The 21-day EC10 reproduction/EC20 adult mortalitywas > 145 µg a.i./L. The 21-day NOEC based on adult mortality was 46 µg a.i./L. The effect occured was an insignificant increase of mortality (10%) at a concentration of 14.5 µg/L. However, this effects was not significant and there was no dose dependent increase in mortality, thus, this effect was considered not toxicologically relevant. Production of offspring in the treated groups indicated that HH-2014-548 did not have an effect on the reproduction at concentrations greater than 145 µg a.i./L. The most sensitive end point was total number of living offspring produced per parent animal.
This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for a chronic toxicity study with freshwater invertebrates.

Daphnids were exposed to the effluent of the activated sludge unit containing the degradation products of the test item. A control activated sludge unit without test item was run in parallel. During the test partially unsaturated IQAC, DMS quaternised, is eliminated in the model activated sludge unit by > 90%. The elimination is calculated to be 97.75% taking into account the inflow into the model activated sludge unit of the test substance with a concentration of 10 mg/l, the dilution of the effluent of the elimination unit in ratio 1:1.25 and the separately determined EC0=0.1 mg/l. Thus a NOEC of >100 μg/L is calculated.
- Executive summary:
The 21-day-reproduction test of the effluent of a model activated sludge unit fed with 10 mg/L partially unsaturated IQAC, DMS quaternised to Daphnia magna was studied under static renewal conditions. Daphnidswere exposed to the effluent of the activated sludge unit containing the degradation products of test item. A control activated sludge unit without test item was run in parallel. The test duration for every generation was 21 days. Neonates of the 14thtest day were exposed as filial generation under the same conditions as the parental generation. Filial generations 1 and 2 were monitored for reproduction rate, time of the first offspring and parental mortality.
Parental generation:
In the parental generation there was no difference between the exposed and the not exposed daphnids, however the first offspring in the controls was one day later. Mortality of the parental generation was slightly higher in the control.
F1 generation:
42 days after the start of exposition of parental generation, the reproduction rateof the surfactant exposed F1 generation was enhanced and exeeded that of the control. The mean number of parental daphnids was greater than in the control. There was no difference in the time of appearance of the first offspring. Mortality of the parental generation was slightly higher in the control.
F2 generation:
63 days after the start of exposition of the first parental generation, in the secondfilial generation some adverse effects were observed for the surfactant exposed Daphnids: Growth rate decreased and the size and colour of the control animals were not reached. The reproduction rate was significant lower than in the parental generation and the F1 generation. The mortality of the parental animals increased .
During the test partially unsaturated IQAC, DMS quaternised, is eliminated in the model activated sludge unit by > 90%. The elimination is calculated to be 97.75% taking into account the inflow into the model activated sludge unit of the test substance with a concentration of 10 mg/l, the dilution of the effluent of the elimination unit in ratio 1:1.25 and the separately determined EC0=0.1 mg/l. Thus a NOEC of >100 μg/L is calculated.
The test material contains isopropanol. The toxicity of isopropanol against Daphnia magna is more than 10 000 times lower than the toxicity of the test material. Water solubility of the test item may be slightly enhanced leading to a better bioavailability and slightly enhanced toxicity. But these effects are regarded to have a minor influence on the test result.Therefore it can be concluded in a first approach, neglecting additive effects, that the observed effect values can be attributed to the active ingredient itself.
This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies basic scientifical requirements for a chronic toxicity study with freshwater invertebrates, allthough not all data were reported.

Description of key information
The 21-day-chronic toxicity of Oleic acid based IQACs, DMS quaternised to Daphnia magna was studied under semi-static conditions. Test species were exposed to control and test chemical at nominal concentrations of 0.000460 – 0.00145 – 0.00460 – 0.0145 – 0.0460 – 0.145 mg pure compound/L. The overall effect threshold for effects of the test item under the test conditions was >145 µg/L (EC20 adults mortality, EC10 reproduction) 46.0 µg/L (NOEC adult mortality) and 145 µg/L (LOEC reproduction and LOEC adults mortality) based on the nominal concentrations of the pure compound of the test item HH-2014-548.
Additionally, the 63d NOEC of >100 μg/L was determined in a 21-day-reproduction test with Daphnia magna over 3 generations. Daphnids were exposed to the effluent of the activated sludge unit containing the degradation products of partially unsaturated IQAC, DMS quaternised.

Additional information
The 21-day-chronic toxicity of Oleic acid based IQACs, DMS quaternised to Daphnia magna was studied under semi-static conditions. Test species were exposed to control and test chemical at nominal concentrations of 0.000460 – 0.00145 – 0.00460 – 0.0145 – 0.0460 – 0.145 mg pure compound/L. The 21-day EC10 reproduction/EC20 adult mortalitywas > 145 µg a.i./L. The 21-day NOEC based on adult mortality was 46 µg a.i./L. The effect occured was an insignificant increase of mortality (10%) at a concentration of 14.5 µg/L. However, this effects was not significant and there was no dose dependent increase in mortality, thus, this effect was considered not toxicologically relevant. Production of offspring in the treated groups indicated that HH-2014-548 did not have an effect on the reproduction at concentrations greater than 145 µg a.i./L. The most sensitive end point was total number of living offspring produced per parent animal.
This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for a chronic toxicity study with freshwater invertebrates.
Results Synopsis
Test Organism Age (e.g. 1stinstar):
Test Type: Semi-static
EC20: >145 µg a.i./L
NOEL: 46 µg a.i./L
LOEC: 145 µg a.i./L} Endpoint(s) Effected: adult mortality
The 21-day-reproduction test of the effluent of a model activated sludge unit fed with 10 mg/Lpartially unsaturatedIQAC (containing 10% of Isopropanol) to Daphnia magna was studied under static renewal conditions.Daphnidswere exposed to the effluent of the activated sludge unit containing the degradation products of the test item. A control activated sludge unit without the test item was run in parallel. The test duration for every generation was 21 days. Neonates of the 14thtest day were exposed as filial generation under the same conditions as the parental generation. Filial generations 1 and 2 were monitored for reproduction rate, time of the first offspring and parental mortality.
Parental generation:
In the parental generation there was no difference between the exposed and the not exposed daphnids, however the first offspring in the controls was one day later. Mortality of the parental generation was slightly higher in the control.
F1 generation:
42 days after the start of exposition of parental generation, the reproduction rate of the surfactant exposed F1 generation was enhanced and exceeded that of the control. The mean number of parental daphnids was greater than in the control. There was no difference in the time of appearance of the first offspring. Mortality of the parental generation was slightly higher in the control.
F2 generation:
63 days after the start of exposition of the first parental generation, in the second filial generation some adverse effects were observed for the surfactant exposed Daphnids: Growth rate decreased and the size and colour of the control animals were not reached. The reproduction rate was significant lower than in the parental generation and the F1 generation. The mortality of the parental animals increased.
During the test the read across substance, partially unsaturated IQAC, DMS quaternised, is eliminated in the model activated sludge unit by > 90%. The elimination is calculated to be 97.75% taking into account the inflow into the model activated sludge unit of the test substance with a concentration of 10 mg/l, the dilution of the effluent of the elimination unit in ratio 1:1.25 and the separately determined EC0=0.1 mg/l to Daphnia magna. Thus a NOEC of >100 μg/L is calculated.
The test material contains isopropanol. The toxicity of isopropanol against Daphnia magna is more than 10 000 times lower than the toxicity of the test material. Water solubility of the test item may be slightly enhanced leading to a better bioavailability and slightly enhanced toxicity. But these effects are regarded to have a minor influence on the test result.Therefore it can be concluded in a first approach, neglecting additive effects, that the observed effect values can be attributed to the active ingredient itself.
This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies basic scientifically requirements for a chronic toxicity study with freshwater invertebrates, although not all data were reported.
Justification for read-across:
The structural similarities between the source and the target substances presented above are the basis for the read-across hypothesis. Adequate, reliable and available scientific information indicates that the source and target substances have similar physicochemical properties, ecotoxicological and toxicity profiles and thus support the read-across hypothesis.
Both substances are UVCB substances, produced by a similar process resulting in main constituents of the same structure, varying in the degree of saturation and chain length (C16 and C18 and mainly C18, for source and target substance, respectively). Given the underlying identical generic structure (outlined in chapter 1 and 2), similar absorption following oral or dermal uptake and the same metabolic patterns are expected for source and target substance. The findings from toxicokinetic data confirm that the discussed IQAC source and target substances are only poorly absorbed after oral application and rapidly excreted. There was no tendency for accumulation of the substance in the body of the test animals.
In conclusion the results obtained from source substance (partially unsaturated IQAC, DMS quaternised) are considered a reliable source to cover endpoints of the target substance (oleic-acid based IQAC, DMS quaternised). Beyond, the dose descriptors obtained from these studies performed on the source substance are considered as an appropriate starting point for deriving the respective PNECs.
A more detailed justification for read-across is outlined in a separate document:
“Justification for read-across - toxicological information”, is attached to the endpoint summary acute toxicity and provided in chapter 13 of Technical dossier.
