Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
Based on a weight of evidence approach, the toxicity of assessed substance to algae can be estimated using adequate toxicity data of major constituents, greater than 1% in the mixture.
Seven constituents were considered, representing more than 85% of the mixture.
These data are summarized in the above table.
The toxicity to algae were estimated using the following additivity formulas, as recommended in the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) section 4.1.3.5.2:
∑ Ci / L(E)C50m = ∑ (Ci / L(E)C50i)
Where,Ci = concentration of component i (weight percentage);
L(E)C50i = LC50 or EC50 for component i, in mg/L; L(E)C50m = L(E)C50 of the part of the mixture with test data.
Based on data presented above, the EC50 value for UVCB substance is calculated at 2.44 mg/L for algae.
Executive summary:

With a EC50 algae value of 2.44 mg/l and some constituents (caryophyllene and lavandulyle acetate with logKow > 4), the substance is classified H411 (cat 2).
