Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Good quality estimate of the EC10/NOEC of pNMC oxide - typical and worst-case composition.
The typical substance composition is classified as Aq.Chronic Cat.2 to the environment resulting in a EC10/NOEC between 0.01 and 0.1 mg/L.
The worst-case substance composition is classified as Aq.Chronic Cat.1 to the environment resulting in a EC10/NOEC <= 0.01 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The study provided a conservative estimate of the effect concentration, derived on basis of the classification outcome (mixture toxicity rules) from a generic pNMC oxide sample of the substance using dissolution data that were generated with pNMC oxide-samples. 

 

Validity of the model used:

1. Defined endpoint: the endpoint is a REACH compliant defined endpoint

2. Unambiguous algorithm: EU CLP guidance based summation formula to determine classification, followed by back-calculation to related hazard criteria

3. Applicability domain: applicable to classify complex metal containing materials. 

4. Mechanistic interpretation - metal species: the tool translates the elemental composition into a soluble composition relevant for classification.
