- Report states the following:
A qualification test on the alga culture was made on 5 June 2008 to assure the quality of the test animals. ErC50 was 1.5 mg/L which confirmed theculture was suitable as a test organism according to OECD TG no 201. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The EC50 values were calculated by means of graphic interpolation. The NOEC was defined as the highest tested concentration not statistically different from the controls according to the Mann-Whitney U-test (p>0.05)

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- A 72 hour algal growth inhibition study, test species Selenastrum capricornutum, was performed to determine the toxic effects of the test substance Polyol TD. The test was conducted according to OECD test guideline 201, and performed to GLP. Based on nominal exposure concentrations the 72 hour ErC50 was calculated to be 743 mg/L and the corresponding no-observed effect concentration (NOEC) was 62 mg/L. The 72 hour EyC50 was calculated to be 144 mg/L and the corresponding NOEC was 62 mg/L.
