Preparation of Sample Solutions:
The samples of test solutions were prepared and delivered by Ecotoxicity group. The samples were analyzed on the day of delivery. The samples were analysed non-diluted.

The stock solution was ultrasonicated for 20 minutes. The concentrations of solutions used in the preliminary test were obtained by dilution of the stock solution with dilution water.

Results with reference substance (positive control):
Reference test
The sensitivity of the test species and correctness of test performance is periodically verified in six-month period by testing with the reference substance, potassium dichromate.
The results of the verification test with K2Cr2O7, carried out in period from 15.04. to 17.04.2015 are the following:

24 hour – EC50 = 1.95 mg.L-1(95% confidence limit: 1.75 – 2.15 mg.L-1)
48 hour – EC50 = 0.86 mg.L-1(95% confidence limit: 0.70 – 1.02 mg.L-1)
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The experiment with the concentration of 100 mg·L-1 included in the preliminary test has been performed using 20 daphnia, therethrough the conditions of the limit test given
in guidelines have been fulfilled. It was demonstrated that the EC50 is higher than this concentration.
No immobilisation was observed in the preliminary test. Therefore exact values of EC50 could not be calculated and the values of EC are given in the form of a range. The EC0 and EC100 values are identified by direct observation.

There is stated in the guideline that, if evidence is available to demonstrate that the concentration of the test substance has been satisfactorily maintained within ± 20 percent
of the nominal or measured initial concentration throughout the test, the results can be based on nominal or measured initial values.
Because concentrations of the test substance have been satisfactorily maintained within ± 20 percent of the measured initial concentration throughout the test, the nominal concentrations were used for all evaluations and results.

Test results
24 hour – EC50 >100 mg·L-1 (nominal concentration)
48 hour – EC50 > 100 mg·L-1 (nominal concentration)

24 hour – EC0 = 100 mg·L-1 (nominal concentration)
48 hour – EC0 = 100 mg·L-1 (nominal concentration)

24 hour – EC100 > 100 mg·L-1 (nominal concentration)
48 hour – EC100 > 100 mg·L-1 (nominal concentration)
Executive summary:

The test substance was tested in acute immobilisation test on Daphnia magna.

The test was performed according to method C.2 – Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test, Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, published in O.J.L 142, 2008.

 

The preliminary test was performed in a range of the test substance nominal concentrations 1 – 100 mg·L-1. The test was performed as static. Based on no toxicity of the test substance found in preliminary test, the study was terminated. The experiment with the concentration of 100 mg·L-1included in the preliminary test has been performed using 20 daphnia, therethrough the conditions of the limit testgiven in guidelinehave been fulfilled. It was demonstrated that the EC50is higher than this concentration.

 

The samples for analytical determination were taken at the beginning and at the end of the test. The analytical results from the preliminary test showed, that the test substance was stable in the dilution water at conditions of the test.

 

There is stated in the guideline that, if evidence is available to demonstrate that the concentration of the test substance has been satisfactorily maintained within ± 20 percent of the nominal or measured initial concentration throughout the test, the results can be based
on nominal or measured initial values.

The nominal concentrations were used for all evaluation and results.

Test results:

24 hour – EC50>100 mg·L-1(nominalconcentration)

48 hour – EC50>100 mg·L-1(nominalconcentration)

 

24 hour – EC0= 100mg·L-1                 (nominalconcentration)

48 hour – EC0= 100mg·L-1                 (nominalconcentration)

 

24 hour – EC100>100 mg·L-1              (nominalconcentration)

48 hour – EC100>100 mg·L-1              (nominalconcentration)
