The test substance was soluble in water. Therefore, the test solution was prepared by dissolving 683.0 mg, 751.3 mg, 826.4 mg, 909.9 mg & 1 gm of the test substance in 10 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) with continuous stirring for achieving test concentrations of 68.30 mg/L, 75.13 mg/L, 82.64 mg/L, 90.90 mg/L & 100 mg/L, respectively and Zebra Fish Danio rerio were exposed to these concentration for 96 hours. Bowl aquaria containing 2 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) were loaded with 8 fishes. A static procedure was used for the study and it was conducted in compliance with the OECD guideline 203. After 96 hours of exposure to test item to various nominal test concentrations, LC50 was determine to be > 100 mg/l and LC0 was observed at 100 mg/l. Based on the LC50, it can be consider that the chemical was nontoxic and can be consider to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

Study was conducted to assess the effect of test chemical 3-aminophenol on the growth of fish Danio rerio. Test conducted according to OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test). The nominal concentration selected for the experiment were 68.30 mg/L, 75.13 mg/L, 82.64 mg/L, 90.90 mg/L & 100 mg/L and Zebra FishDanio reriowere exposed to these concentration for 96 hours. The test substance was soluble in water. Therefore, the test solution was prepared by dissolving 683.0 mg, 751.3 mg, 826.4 mg, 909.9 mg & 1 gm of the test substance in 10 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) with continuous stirring for achieving test concentrations of 68.30 mg/L, 75.13 mg/L, 82.64 mg/L, 90.90 mg/L & 100 mg/L, respectively.

Additional information
Based on the experimental data from various database for the target chemical study have been reviewed to determine the mode of action of test chemical the mortality rate and behavior of fish. The studies are as mentioned below:
In the first key study from experimental report 2014 toxicity was measured. Study was conducted to assess the effect of test chemical on the growth of fish Danio rerio. Test conducted according to OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test). The test substance was soluble in water. Therefore, the test solution was prepared by dissolving 683.0 mg, 751.3 mg, 826.4 mg, 909.9 mg & 1 gm of the test substance in 10 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) with continuous stirring for achieving test concentrations of 68.30 mg/L, 75.13 mg/L, 82.64 mg/L, 90.90 mg/L & 100 mg/L, respectively and Zebra FishDanio reriowere exposed to these concentration for 96 hours. Bowl aquaria containing 2 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) were loaded with 8 fishes. A static procedure was used for the study and it was conducted in compliance with the OECD guideline 203. After 96 hours of exposure to test item to various nominal test concentrations, LC50 was determine to be > 100 mg/l and LC0 was observed at 100 mg/l. Based on the LC50, it can be consider that the chemical was nontoxic and can be consider to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
First key study was supported by the second study from authoritative database 2018. Short term toxicity study of test chemical were carried out on the mortality of Oryzias latipes. Test conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test). Chemical analytically monitorized by HPLC at the start of exposure, before renewal of test solution. Test performed under the semi-static system for 96 hrs. 300, 200, 133, 88.9, 59.3 mg/L (geometric ratio 1.5), control concentration is used. 10 Oryzias latipes per vessel incorporated and conducted in 2 replicates. After 96 hrs effect were calculated on thew basis of mortality of test organism. The lethal concentration (LC50) value of 3-aminophenol in fish (Oryzias latipes) in a 96 hr study was determine to be 121 mg/L.
Similar the primary purpose of the present study (from peer reviewed journal, 2004) was to investigate the effect of test chemical on the growth of fishes. The eggs of Zebrafish were transferred into wells of a 24-well multiplate (1 egg per well) after differentiation. 20 wells were prepared with 2 mL test solution each, 4 wells were filled with dilution water and served as internal controls. The tests were replicated 3 times consecutively and 7 concentrations were tested. The tests were only considered valid when at least 90% of the embryos in the control were viable after 72hr. the eggs were incubated at 26°C and embryonic development was observed with an inverted microscope and recorded daily. 20 wells were prepared with 2 mL test solution each, 4 wells were filled with dilution water and served as internal controls. Eggs of the fish were obtained according to the method prescribed by OECD. The eggs were collected in 30 min and washed with tap water. A suitable number of eggs were transferred into prepared chemical concentrations withour regard for fertilisation. The lethal concentration (LC50) value of test chemical in eggs of fish (Danio rerio) in a 72 hr study was determine to be 22.34 mg/L. This value indicates that chemical will exhibit aquatic toxicity to fish.Thus classified in aquatic chronic category 3 based on the CLP criteria for classification of the substance.
As the maximum experimental studies performed according to the OECD guidelines supports the nontoxic classifications of test chemical thus on basis chemical 3-aminophenol was consider as nontoxic to fishes and not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
