- Details on results:
- The values or EC0 after (29.3 mg/l), EC50 (63.7 mg/l) and EC100 after 48 hours (126 mg/l) were calculated by linear regression.
When the EC50 was calculated by the Logit-model, values of EC50 after 48 hours of 63.7 mg/l were obtained with the following confidence limits:
90 % confidence limit (48 hours): 55.2-75.8 mg/l
95 % confidence limit (48 hours): 53.7-79.1 mg/l
99 % confidence limit (48 hours): 50.7-87.5 mg/l
The dose response curve was round to be:
Logit (48 hours) = -19.91 + 4.793 × log (dose).
The 95 %-confidence limits ror the slopes were:
48 hours : 3.176-6.409 - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The values of EC0 after 24 and 48 hours (1.42 mg/l and 0.965 mg/l), EC50 after 24 and 48 hours (2.788 mg/l and 1.307 mg/l) and EC100 after 24 and 48 hours mg/l and 1.770 mg/l) were determined by linear regression.
When the EC50 was calculated by the Logit model, values of EC50 after 24 and 48 hours of 2.25 mg/l and 1.32 mg/l were obtained with the following confidence limits:
95 % confidence limit (24 hours): 1.938 - 10.82 mg/l
95 % confidence limit (48 hours): 1.203 - 1.426 mg/l
The dose response line was found to be:
Logit (24 hours) = -3.068 + 3.781 × log (dose)
Logit (48 hours) = -2.516 + 8.999 × log (dose).
The 95 %-confidence limits for the slopes were:
24 hours : -1.98, 9.542
48 hours : 3.181, 14.82 - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The EC50 was estimated for 48 hours of exposure by using the Logit model. EC0, EC50 and EC100 values were calculated by linear regression of values used for logit estimation if possible.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- EC50 (48h): 63.7 mg/l
- Executive summary:
Materials and methods
The substance was tested for its acute toxicity to Daphnia magna, according to OECD guideline 202.
At 48 hours of exposure the Logit model was used to assess EC50. The tests were validated by testing potassium dichromate.
Observation
The immobilization observed with the control animals was 0 % after 48 hours.
The EC50 values determined for potassium dichromate after 24 and 48 hours were 2.25 and 1.32 mg/l, respectively.
Results
EC0 (48h) = 29.3 mg/l
EC50 (48h) = 63.7 mg/l
EC100 (48h) = 126 mg/l
The substance showed slight toxicity to daphnids when exposed for 48 hours.

Additional information
No data on Acid Brown 303 was available. Therefore, available data on a structural analogue, i.e Similar Sustance 01, was used to assess the short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates. Details on the read-across approach are available in section 13.
Similar Substance 01 was tested according to OECD guideline 202.
The EC50 value was estimated to be >100 mg/l for 24 hours exposure.
At 48 hours of exposure the Logit model was used to assess EC50. The result was a value of 63.7 mg/l.
