JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
The water solubility of the UVCB substance was determined to be < 1.0 x 10-5 g/L, partition coefficient (n-Octanol/water) Pow 3.16 x 106, log10Pow> 6.5 and estimated absorption coefficient was estimated to range be between Koc range: 1.172e+006 - 5.518e+008  L/kg log Koc range: 6.0689 - 11.154 [EPISUITE (KOCWIN v2.0)], respectively.
Using the ECOSAR program (developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, v 1.11), the predicted effect levels for both acute and chronic endpoints with daphnids exceeded the estimated water solubility by more than 10X for a majority of the individual components of the test material mixture. Thus, no acute or chronic toxicity effects at water saturation were predicted for the test material, and the study was deemed scientifically not necessary.

Description of key information

No acute or chronic toxicity effects at water saturation were predicted for the test material, therefore acute testing with aquatic algae is waived since the study is scientifically not necessary.
