Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Study Design

The acute toxicity of the test material was studied in a pretest for a bioaccumulation study (OECD TG 305) using solvents to increase exposure. The GLP test was performed according to the METI Guideline: Concentration Test on Chemical Substances in Fish.
To achive the exposure concentrations, solvent HCO-40 was used. All concentrations tested were at or above the solubility limit of the pure test substance. For the test Oryzias latipes was used. The assay was perfomred as limit test using a single nominal test material concentration of 100 mg/L.

Results
In this limit test all fish survived the experimental phase of 96 h. No clinical signs have been observed. The 96 hours NOEC exceeds 100 mg/L nominal test material concentration.

Conclusion
The NOEC of the test material with solubilizer exceeds nominal 100 mg/L.
