Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
A 96 h study was conducted for test material on Zebra fish (Danio rerio), at a test concentrations of 0.3125mg/L,0.625mg/L,1.25mg/L,2.5mg/L,5mg/L . The fishes were moving slowly as compared to control. No mortalities were found in the control aquaria. The lethal concentrations LC50 was determined to be 0.625 mg/L
Executive summary:

Study was conducted to assess the effect of test chemical on the mortality of fish Danio rerio. Test conducted according to OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test). The test substance was soluble in water. Therefore, the test solution was prepared by dissolving 1 g of the test substance in 1 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) with 48 hrscontinuous stirring for achieving test concentrations of 0.3125mg/L,  0.625mg/L, 1.25mg/L, 2.5mg/L, 5mg/L respectively. This test solution was then added to the remaining three liters of water for achieving test concentrations of 100 mg/L and Zebra FishDanio reriowere exposed to these concentration for 96 hours.Bowl aquaria containing 2 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) were loaded with 8 fishes. A static procedure was used for the study and it was conducted in compliance with the OECD guideline 203. After 96 hours of exposure to test item to nominal test concentrations, LC50 was determine to be 0.625 mg/l . Based on the LC50, it can be consider that the chemical was toxic and can be consider to be classified as aquatic acute 1 as per the CLP classification criteria.
