Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Aquatic toxicity of the UVCB substance was determined by classifying based on Mixture rules from EU CLP ( tier 1= summation of classified components or Tier 2 = additivity of soluble components to derive Hazard class) and back calculation to the corresponding L(E)C50 range

Any other information on results incl. tables

Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

According to MeClas, the substance is classified as acute 1 to environment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Good quality estimate of the L/EC50 of the UVCB substance.
The substance is classified as acute cat 1 to environment resulting in a L(E)C50 < 1 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The study provided a conservative estimate of the effect concentration, derived on basis of the classification outcome (mixture toxicity rules) from a reasonable worst-case sample of the substance using mineralogical information from the representative sample. 

 

Validity of the model used:

1. Defined endpoint: the endpoint is a REACH compliant defined endpoint

2. Unambiguous algorithm: EU CLP guidance based summation formula to determine classification, followed by back-calculation to related hazard criteria

3. Applicability domain: applicable to classify complex metal containing materials. 

4. Mechanistic interpretation - metal species: the tool translates the elemental composition into a mineralogical composition relevant for classification.
