- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Watyer Accommodated Fraction (WAF) - Based on the results of a GLP range-finding test, the following nominal test loading rates were used: control, 2.13, 4.70, 10.3, 22.7 and 50 mg/L. Stock solutions were prepared by directly weighing 75.0, 34.05, 15.45, 7.05 and 3.20 mg in 1500 mL test medium, respectively. These stock solutions were stirred in the dark for 48 h, at room temperature and settled down for 1 h (based on OECD Series on Testing and Assessment No. 23).
- Eluate: The test medium was water composed of reconstituted test water consisting of analytical grade salts dissolved in purified water. The ratio of Ca:Mg and Na:K was 4:1 and 10:1, respectively, based on molarity, with a conductivity of 680 µS/cm.
- Differential loading: 2.13, 4.70, 10.3, 22.7 and 50 mg/L (WAF)
- Controls: Yes, test medium control

In 22.7 and 50 mg/L solutions, a tyndall effect could still be observed. - Test organisms (species):

Analytical Results
The content of Amines, C12-14-branched alkyl, dodecylbenzenesulfonates (1:1) in test solutions was analytically determined to confirm the correct application of the test item. The measured content of Amines, C12-14-branched alkyl, dodecylbenzenesulfonates (1:1) in fresh test solutions was between 87 % and 109 % of nominal. The measured content of Amines, C12-14-branched alkyl, dodecylbenzenesulfonates (1:1) in aged test solutions was between 83 % and 104 % of nominal. Since the measured concentrations of Amines, C12-14-branched alkyl, dodecylbenzenesulfonates (1:1) in all test item solutions were between 80 and 120 % of nominal concentrations, the biological endpoints were evaluated using nominal test item concentration.

- Conclusions:
- According to the results of the test, the LL50 (96 h) of the test item was determined to be 15.3 mg/L test item (nominal). The corresponding NOELR (mortality) (96 h) was 10.3 mg/L test item (nominal).
No sublethal effects were observed in the control and test item loading rate up to and including 10.3 mg/L test item (nominal) after 96 h. - Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the effects of the test item to the freshwater zebrafish Danio rerio, conducted in accordance with OECD 203. The test item was evaluated in a static concentration response test, 96 h exposure in treated test medium; 7 organisms per test loading rate were used. Assessments on effects and mortality after 0, 4, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours were conducted. Following a static GLP range-finding test, the following nominal test item loading rates were tested: Control, 2.13, 4.70, 10.3, 22.7 and 50.0 mg/L. The test item is a complex substance (UVCB) composed of constituents with varying water solubility, therefore the test item is applied as water accommodated fraction (WAF). Temperature, pH-value and % oxygen saturation of the test solutions, measured after 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours from fresh and aged test solutions, are reported. Hardness of the test medium was measured at the start of the test. Analytical samples taken at t = 0 h fresh and t = 96 h aged from control, 2.13, 4.70 and 10.3 mg/L were analysed. Additionally, samples taken at t = 0 h fresh and t = 24 h aged were analysed from 22.7 and 50.0 mg/L. The NOELR (mortality) was established based on the highest test item loading rate at which fish are alive within the allowed control mortality. The LL50 (mortality) was established as the test item loading rate causing 50 % mortality in the test organism population. The LL50-value after 4 h was calculated by Weibull analysis using linear max. likelihood regression. The LL50-values after 24, 48, 72 and 96 h were calculated as the geometric mean between the highest test item loading rate causing no mortality and the lowest loading rate causing 100 % mortality.
Control mortality: The mortality in the control should not exceed one fish at the end of the test. In this study there was no control mortality. Oxygen saturation: The dissolved oxygen saturation in control and test vessels should be at least 60 % of the air saturation value throughout the test. In this test, the dissolved oxygen concentration was ≥ 62 % throughout the test. The total hardness (as CaCO3) of the test water was determined to be 13°dH; the mean pH-value of the untreated control was determined to be 7.42 0.12. The mean temperature of the untreated control and test item concentrations was measured to be 24.0 +/- 0.2 °C and the oxygen saturation was determined to be 88 +/- 12 %. The content of the active ingredient in test solutions was analytically determined to confirm the correct application of the test item. The measured content of the active ingredient in fresh test solutions was between 87 % and 109 % of nominal. The measured content of the active ingredient in aged test solutions was between 83 % and 104 % of nominal. Since the measured concentrations of the active ingredient in all test item solutions were between 80 and 120 % of nominal concentrations, the biological endpoints were evaluated using nominal test item loading rates. According to the results of the test, the LL50 (96 h) of the test item was determined to be 15.3 mg/L (nominal). The corresponding NOELR (mortality) (96 h) was 10.3 mg/L (nominal). No sublethal effects were observed in the control and test item loading rate up to and including 10.3 mg/L test item (nominal) after 96 h.
