Conclusions:
The lowest LC50 value from the range resulting from the key study (21.4 mg/L) is taken as a worst case approach for further assessment.

Description of key information

One study (BASF, 1998), investigating the acute toxicity of the substance to fish according to the German Industrial Standard DIN 38412 part 15 (similar to OECD guideline 203), was considered as the key study for endpoint coverage. The 96h-LC50 was determined to be 21.4 mg test material/L (measured) based on mortality of the test species Danio rerio. The study is given a Klimisch score of 1 and was conducted under GLP.
