Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

In the limit concentration of 100 mg/L of the test item, no effects on Daphnia magna were observed.
Based on the nominal concentrations of the test item, the 48 hours-EC10 / 50 / 100 for Daphnia magna was > 100 mg/L.

Executive summary:

In the acute immobilization test with Daphnia magna (STRAUS), the effects of the test item were determined at the test facility according to OECD 202 (2004) from 2018-06-12 to 2018-06-14.

A concentration of 100 mg/L was tested in a limit test under static conditions over a period of 48 hours. The limit concentration of 100 mg test item/L was blue and visually clearly dissolved at the start of the exposure, while the control was colourless and visually clear throughout the exposure. After 24 hours and at the end of the exposure interval a slight sedimentation of the test item was observed.

Twenty daphnids, divided into 4 replicates with 5 daphnids each, were exposed to the limit concentration and the control.

The concentrations of the test item were analytically verified via photometric analysis at a wavelength of 662 nm in the fresh media at the start of the exposure (0 hours) and in the old media at the end of the exposure (48 hours) in the limit concentration and in the control.

The measured concentration of the test item in fresh medium at the start of the exposure (0 hours) was 96% of the nominal value of the limit concentration. At the end of the exposure period (48 hours), the measured test item concentration in the old media was 91% of the nominal value of the limit concentration. Since the measured concentration of the test item did remain stable within ± 20% of the nominal concentration throughout the exposure period, the nominal concentration was used for evaluation.

No effects were found at the limit concentration of 100 mg/L of the test item in Elendt M4 medium.

The validity criteria of the test guideline were fulfilled.
