Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The EC50 value for the test material 2-(3-oxobenzo[b]thien-2(3H)-ylidene)benzo[b]thiophene-3(2H)-one was observed to be >100 mg/l
Executive summary:

In the acute immobilisation test with Daphnia magna (STRAUS) performed as per OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation test in GLP certified lab . The effect of the of the saturated solution (DOC 3.5 mg/L) of the test item 2-(3-oxobenzo[b]thien -2(3H) -ylidene)benzo[b]thiophene-3(2H)-one was determined according to OECD 202 (2004) and Directive 92/69/EC Method The limit test was conducted under static conditions over 48 h . 20 test organisms were exposed to the saturated solution and the control. A reference test was carried out with potassium dichromate to determine the toxicity of the reference item.

Daphnia magna STRAUS (Clone 5) was cultured in Elendt M4 modified to a total hardness of 160 to 180 mg CaCO3/L . At least 5 per week ad libitum with a mix of Desmodesmus subspicatus and Chlorella vulgaris, with an alga cell density of > 106cells/mL. The solution (100 mg/L test item was weighed out) was prepared with dilution water in brown glass flask one day day prior to application. The stock solution was shaken with 20 rpm for 24 h (rotating shaker 3040, GFL). Undissolved particles were removed by centrifugation (20 min at 3000). The test was conducted in Glass beakers (5 cm ID x 8 cm H), 50 mL volume were used. 20 animals, divided into 4 parallel samples, each with 5 animals. The daphnids were not fed during the study . A preliminary range finding test was conducted under static conditions. EC10- and EC50-values were only calculated for the reference item by sigmoidal dose-response regression. Calculation of the confidence interval for EC50 were carried out using standard procedures according to CLOPPER and PEARSON (1934). The EC50 value of test material 2-(3-oxobenzo[b]thien-2(3H)-ylidene) benzo[b]thiophene-3(2H)-one after 48h  was observed to be >100 mg/l . There was no biologically significant effect neither in the tested saturated solution nor in the control group. Based on the above observation it can be considered that test material 2-(3-oxobenzo[b]thien-2(3H)-ylidene)benzo[b]thiophene-3(2H)-one is not toxic to aquatic invertebrate and hence, can not be classified as per CLP criteria.
