- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 209 (Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test
- GLP compliance:
- yes

- no
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
53 µl of the test substance, Milli-RO water, synthetic sewage feed (16 ml) and activated sludge (200 ml) were mixed and made up to 500 ml with Milli-RO water in a 1 litre bottle. - Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: The sludge was coarsely sieved to remove large particles. The sludge was then washed by centrifuging at 1000 g for 10 minutes. The supernatant was decanted and replaced with ISO-medium. The washing step was performed three times. The pH was 7.7 on the day of testing. The batch of sludge was used one day after collection; therefore 50 ml of synthetic sewage feed was added per litre of activated sludge at the end of the collection day. The sludge was kept aerated at test temperature until use.
- Initial biomass concentration: 3.8 g/L - Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Limit test:
- yes
- Total exposure duration:
- 3 h
- Post exposure observation period:
- Oxygen consumption was measured and recorded for approximately 10 minutes.
- Test temperature:
- 19.9-20.3°C
- pH:
- 8.2 to 8.3
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- 100 mg/l (loading rate). Performance of a limit concentration at 100 mg/l is acceptable, because 100 mg/l exceeds the expected concentration in a Sewage Treatment Plant.
- Details on test conditions:
- Test vessel:
- Material, size, headspace, fill volume: glass, 300ml oxygen bottles, 1L test bottles
- Aeration: continuous
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): two
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): two
TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: tap water purified by reverse osmosis (Milli-RO) and subsequently passed over activated carbon and ion-exchange cartridges (Milli-Q)
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
After the 3-hour contact time, a well mixed sample of the contents of the reaction mixture was poured into a 300 ml oxygen bottle, and the flask was sealed with an oxygen electrode connected to a recorder, forcing the air out of the vessel. WTW inolab Oxi 730 supplied with a WTW CellOx 325 oxygen electrode, electrolyte type ELY/G
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: 100 mg/L only, tested in duplicate
- Justification for using less concentrations than requested by guideline: No significant inhibition of respiration rate of the sludge was recorded for the test substance at a loading rate of 100 mg/L in both replicates and therefore no further testing was required. - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- (3,5-Dichlorophenol)
- Duration:
- 3 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC10
- Effect conc.:
- > 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- inhibition of total respiration
- Remarks:
- respiration rate
- Details on results:
- The two controls had a difference in respiration rate of 6%, which is less than the 15% limit required by the guideline for a valid study.
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- A positive control test with 3, 5-dichlorophenol yielded an EC50 of 8.7 mg/L, which is within the accepted range of 5 to 30 mg/l required by the guideline for a valid study.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- An activated sludge respiration inhibition 3hr EC10 value of >100 mg/l (loading rate) was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol, and in compliance with GLP.
- Endpoint:
- activated sludge respiration inhibition testing
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Justification for type of information:
- Please refer to the attached justification below and the overall justification for grouping of substances attached in IUCLID Section 13.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Duration:
- 3 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC10
- Effect conc.:
- > 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- inhibition of total respiration
- Remarks:

Description of key information
EC10 (3 h) > 100 mg/L (OECD 209)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
There are no data available on the toxicity to microorganisms for
diethoxy(dimethyl)silane (CAS 78-62-6). In accordance with Regulation
(EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 “Grouping of substances and read-across”
and in accordance with the read across assessment framework (RAAF, ECHA
2017) a read-across from the analogue substance trimethoxy(methyl)silane
(CAS 1185-55-3) has been applied to support the environmental hazard
assessment of diethoxy(dimethyl)silane (CAS 78-62-6). Details on the
read across justification can be found in the attached justification in
the respective target entry and in the overall justification for
grouping of substances attached in IUCLID Section 13.
The study with the analogue substance was performed according to OECD
209 (GLP) with a limit concentration of 100 mg/L. Activated sludge of a
predominantly domestic sewage was used as inoculum. No inhibition of
growth was recorded after 3 h of incubation resulting in an EC10 (3 h)
of >100 mg/L.
Based on the result of the analogue substance, Diethoxy(dimethyl)silane (CAS 78-62-6) is not assumed to be harmful to activated sludge microorganisms and an inhibition of degradation in sewage treatment plants is not anticipated.
