- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: As the test item is poorly soluble in deionized water as well in the test medium, for preparation of test solution the water-accommodated fraction (WAF) approach was taken, as described in OECD Guidance Document No. 23. A supersaturated solution (100 mg/L nominal loading) was prepared by adding an amount of 0.0703 g test item to 703 mL test medium (ISO Medium) in the first renewal period and 0.0700 g test item in 700 mL test medium (ISO Medium) in the second renewal period one day before the start of each renewal period. The test solution was handled by ultrasonic bath for 10 minutes, thereafter stirred for a period of 24 hours to achieve an equilibrated concentration. The test solution was then filtrated through a membrane filter (0.45 µm; Thermo Nalgene® membrane) to separate the possible non-dissolved test material. The test solution was freshly prepared in the testing laboratory just before introduction of the test animals (start of each renewal period).
- Controls: Negative control (ISO Medium without addition of test item), positive control (with the reference substance potassium dichromate) - Test organisms (species):

RANGE-FINDING STUDY
In order to select appropriate test concentrations for use in the definitive test, a non-GLP preliminary range-finding tests was conducted to determine the approximate toxicity of the test item. Due to the test item’s low solubility, preparation of test solutions was performed using the WAF method (according to OECD Series on Testing and Assessment No. 23) as follows: In the semi-static preliminary range-finding test the nominal test concentration of 100 mg/L was prepared and handled in ultrasonic bath for 10 minutes. The stock solution was mixed for a period of 24 hours to achieve an equilibrated concentration and then filtrated through a membrane filter (0.45 µm) to separate the possible non-dissolved test material. The test solution was renewed once during the test (on day 1). Untreated control ran parallel in the test.
The preliminary range-finding tests were not performed in compliance with the GLP-Regulations and will be excluded from the Statement of Compliance (Statement of the Study Director) in the Final Report, but the raw data of these tests will be archived under the study code of the present study.
- Test concentrations: 100 mg/L
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: Yes. Based on the results of the non-GLP Preliminary Range-Finding Tests (see above), the main test is conducted as a limit test using the WAF method (according to OECD Series on Testing and Assessment No. 23) including a loading rate of 100 mg test item/L and a concurrent control group. - Reference substance (positive control):

- VALIDITY OF THE TEST
Immobilisation was not observed in the control group and the dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test in control and test vessels was in the range of 7.32 - 8.41 mg/L (more than 3 mg/L in all cases). All validity criteria were within acceptable limits and therefore the study can be considered as valid. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The 24h EC50 value was determined to be 1.53 mg/L (95% conf. limits: 1.30 – 1.78 mg/L), which falls within the range of 0.6 mg/L and 2.1 mg/L as given in the guideline.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- A limit test was performed and toxic effects were not observed, therefore statistical analysis was not necessary. The NOEC and LOEC values of the test item were determined directly from the raw data.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- No toxic effects of the test item were recorded up to the solubility limit of the test item in the test medium, which corresponds to 0.45 mg/L (geometric mean measured) and a nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L. Therefore, the 48-hour EC50 was determined to be > 0.45 mg/L (geometric mean measured).
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna was determined in a GLP-compliant 48‑hour semi-static test according to OECD Guideline 202, EU Method C.2 and EPA OPPTS 850.1010. Test animals were exposed to aqueous solutions containing the test item at the limit of its solubility in the test medium (i.e. saturation; equivalent to 100 mg/L nominal concentration, prepared as water-accommodated fraction (WAF)). The test item concentration was analyzed by UV/VIS spectrophotometry. The geometric mean test item concentration was determdined to be 0.45 mg/L. Healthy, young female daphnids < 24 hours of age and with known origin, history and acclimatisation conditions were used. Twenty daphnids (divided into 4 replicates) were exposed to the saturated test concentration and to the blank control (containing ISO Medium only). The immobilisation of the test animals was recorded 24 and 48 hours after test start. Environmental conditions were recorded at the start and at the end of each renewal period. All measured values remained within the acceptable ranges. In result, there was no immobilisation in twenty daphnids exposed to either test item treated or control group. Furthermore, no abnormal behaviour or appearance of test animals was detected. In conclusion, the test item had no toxic effect up to and including the aquatic saturation (i.e.limit test concentration) on Daphnia magna. Hence, the 48h EC10, EC20 and EC50 results and the LOEC are higher than the solubility level of the test item in the test medium, which corresponds to the mean measured concentration of 0.45 mg/L and a nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L. The NOEC value is equal to the geometric mean measured test item concentration of 0.45 mg/L and 100 mg/L in nominal. All validity criteria were met and therefore the study can be considered as valid.
