Executive summary:

This study was conducted on behalf of the Japanese Ministry of Environment (MOE). The methodology was based on OECD Technical Guideline N°211 under GLP. 4 replicate vessels containing 10 test animals each were used to evaluate the long-term toxicity of Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether to Daphnia magna. Based on reproduction, the NOEC was determined to be 3.05 mg/L. The LOEC was 9.77 mg/L. As no detailed information was available, a reliability factor of 2 was assigned to this guideline study.

Additional information

A single study reports long-term toxicity data on aquatic invertebrates. This study was conducted on behalf of the Japanese Ministry of Environment (MOE). The methodology was based on OECD Technical Guideline N°211 under GLP. 4 replicate vessels containing 10 test animals each were used to evaluate the long-term toxicity of Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether to Daphnia magna. Based on reproduction, the NOEC was determined to be 3.05 mg/L. The LOEC was 9.77 mg/L.As no detailed information was available, a reliability factor of 2 was assigned to this guideline study.

Conclusion: Based on the available information, the GHS-UN classification criteria are not met.
