Test solutions
- Vehicle:

- Details on test solutions:
- The test item was introduced into the test solutions using aqueous extracts („WAFs“) from the test item as follows: First, a stock solution of the test item was prepared in dichloromethane. An aliquot of this stock solution was given into the the glass vessel for preparation of the aqueous extracts. After evaporation of the solvent the respective amount of ultrapure water was added. Then, the suspension was shaken on a shaking machine for 24 h at ≈130 rpm at room temperature, respectively. During that time an equilibration between the test item and the water was considered to be achieved. After 24h, shaking was stopped, and the suspensions were filtered through glass fibre filter. The eluates („WAFs“) were used directly without any further dilution steps.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The test is considered valid as all conditions for validity were met
- Conclusions:
- 72-hr EL50 (growth rate/yield) > 100 mg/L
72-hr NOELR (growth rate/yield) > 100 mg/L - Executive summary:
The chronic toxicity of“Triglycerides, C12-24, even, saturated and unsaturated, oxidized“ towards algae was tested according to OECD-Guideline No. 201, in the Version dated 23-March 2006. The toxic effect was investigated by determination of the inhibition of the growth rate of the algae and the yield during the exposure period of 72 h. As the test item is poorly water-soluble, it was tested using aqueous extracts (“WAFs”) from up to 100 mg test item/L (final concentration). The main test was performed as a limit test using 100 mg/L as the sole test concentration because within the screening-test there was no negative effect up to that concentration. As a conclusion of the analytical part of this study, recoveries of the concentrations determined after 72h were ≥ 80% of those determined after 72h, and therefore the effective concentrations are based on the nominal concentrations of the WAFs determined.
From the results of the main test, toxic effects were determined with the following values:
On the Basis of the Nominal Loading Rates1)tested
Yield (0 - 72 h)
EC10 >100
EC20 >100
EC50 >100
LOEC >100
NOEC ≥ 100
Growth rate (0 - 72h)
EC10 >100
EC20 >100
EC50 >100
LOEC > 100
NOEC ≥ 100
The test is considered valid as all conditions for validity were met.
