Results with reference substance (positive control):
The 7-day EC25 for Nickel sulphate hexahydrate (CAS No. 10101-97-0) was 20.6 mg Ni/L.

The control doubling time was calculated to be 1.89 days. The initial pH measurements did not differ from the final measurements by more than 1.5 units and the test was maintain within24 ± 2°C. At the end of test, the plants in the negative control up to the 100 mg/L test concentration appeared light green, healthy, with some transparent fronds.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
According to OECD 221 test method, the 7-days EC50 of CR SB32N2 was >100 mg/L.
Executive summary:

This test using the procedures outlined in the Maxxam Study Plan for TOX1615 which is based on the SOP for the OECD 221 (BBY2 SOP-00067) and OECD 221 (OECD, 2006). The results of this OECD 221 test for CR SB32N2 show that test validity criteria was met.

Based on the nominal concentrations of CR SB32N2:

1.     The 7-Day EC50 for yield based on frond number was >100 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC was 100 mg/L and >100 mg/L, respectively.

2.     The 7-Day EC50 for yield based on dry weight was >100 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC was 71.4 mg/L and 100 mg/L, respectively.

3.     The 7-Day EC50 for Specific Growth Rate based on frond number was >100 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC was 100 mg/L and >100 mg/L, respectively.

4.     The 7-Day EC50 for Specific Growth Rate based on dry weight was >100 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC was 71.4 mg/L and 100 mg/L, respectively.

Description of key information

The 7-days EC50 of CR SB32N2 was >100 mg/L for Lemna minor (OECD TG221).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater plants:
100 mg/L

Additional information

The test was considered valid as the control doubling time was calculated to be 1.89 days which met the test validity criteria of ≤2.5days. The pH and the temperature of the test solutions were both within the ranges outlined in the OECD 221 test guideline. The measured concentrations of CR SB32N2 were within 80-120% of their nominal concentrations.

Based on the nominal concentrations of CR SB32N2:

1.   The 7-Day EC50 for yield based on frond number was >100 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC was 100 mg/L and >100 mg/L, respectively.

2.   The 7-Day EC50 for yield based on dry weight was >100 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC was 71.4 mg/L and 100 mg/L, respectively.

3.   The 7-Day EC50 for Specific Growth Rate based on frond number was >100 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC was 100 mg/L and >100 mg/L, respectively.

4.   The 7-Day EC50 for Specific Growth Rate based on dry weight was >100 mg/L. The NOEC and LOEC was 71.4 mg/L and 100 mg/L, respectively.
