Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Ecotoxicological information

Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

Administrative data

Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Remarks:
Classification based on calculation rules for mixtures of the CLP Regulation
Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
accepted calculation method
Justification for type of information:
Classification based on calculation rules for mixtures of the CLP Regulation, based on constituents approach of the UVCB substance marjoram oil.There is no experimental study reference.
Data are compiled on 8 major components which represent about 85% of the UVCB substance.

Results and discussion

Effect concentrations
Duration:
48 h
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect conc.:
0.96 mg/L
Details on results:
The toxicity to daphnia 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.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
Based on a weight of evidence approach, the toxicity of assessed substance to daphnia during 48 hours can be estimated using adequate toxicity data of major constituents, greater than 1% in the mixture.
These 8 major constituents were considered, representing about 85% of the mixture.
These data are summarized in the above table.
The toxicity to daphnia 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 48 hours for UVCB substance is calculated at 0.96 mg/L for daphnia.
Executive summary:

The LC50 daphnia value (48h) for marjoram oil is 0.96 mg/l.
