Details on results:
- Validity Criteria of the Study:
-- Control immobilisation: The percentage of immobilisation should be ≤ 10 %. In this study the control immobilisation was 0 %
-- Oxygen concentration: The dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test should be ≥ 3 mg/L in all test units. In this test, the dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test was ≥ 9.0 mg/L

- Biological Results:
-- After 24 hours of exposure no immobilisation was observed in the control and at 100 mg/L
-- After 48 hours of exposure no immobilisation was observed in the control and at 100 mg/L
-- No behavioural changes could be observed

- Analytical Results:
The measured content of dipotassium malonate was 99% of nominal and the aged measured content was 96% of nominal. Since the content of dipotassium malonate in the samples was between 80 and 120% of nominal the toxicological endpoints were evaluated using nominal concentrations.

Results with reference substance (positive control):
The results indicate an EC50 (24 h) of the reference item potassium dichromate between 1.00 and 2.00 mg/L.
Since the results are in accordance with the requirements of the OECD guideline 202 and fall within the historical data generated with the reference item at the testing facility, the daphnids were suitable for the determination of the toxicological effects of the test item.
Reported statistics and error estimates:
All toxicological endpoints were evaluated using nominal concentrations.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes

According to the results of the test, the EC50 (48 h) for immobilisation was assumed to be > 100 mg/L (nominal). The corresponding NOEC (48 h) was 100 mg/L (nominal).
Executive summary:

The objectives of this study were to determine the immobilisation effect of the test item Dipotassium malonate on the water flea Daphnia magna under worst-case exposure conditions after the exposure to test solutions and observation of immobilisation after 24 and 48 hours of exposure under static conditions. The study was performed according to OECD test guideline 202 (2004) and in compliance to GLP.

The test was performed as a static limit test with twenty test organisms per treatment (4 replicates of 5 test organisms each). The duration of the test was 48 hours. Endpoints reported are the EC50and the NOEC after 24 and 48 hours.

Following a static non-GLP range-finding test a static limit test with the nominal concentration 100 mg/L and control was performed. Temperature, pH-value and oxygen concentration of the test solutions measured after 0, 24 hours aged and 48 hours are reported. Hardness of the test medium (untreated control) was measured on the day of application.

Analytical samples taken at 0 hours (initial value) and 48 hours from aged test solutions were analysed from control and the test item concentration.

Due to a lack of immobilisation, the values for EC50were not determined statistically. The NOEC was established based on the highest concentration at which the immobilisation is not higher than the allowed control immobilisation (≤ 10 % immobilisation).

All validity criteria were fulfilled.

According to the results of the test, the EC50 (48 h) for immobilisation was assumed to be > 100 mg/L (nominal). The corresponding NOEC (48 h) was 100 mg/L (nominal).
