Conclusion on classification

TXIB is not acutely toxic at the limit of water solubility (saturation). However, a NOEC in a long-term study (Daphnia magna) was observed in the range of 0.1 to ≤ 1.0 mg/L. The experimental BCF is < 500. The substance achieved > 60% degradation based upon CO2 evolution in a ready biodegradtion study (OECD 301B) but failed to meet the 10-day window criterion. This is likley caused by the intial test substance being greater than the water solubility of the substance. However, as the substance exhibited greater than 70% biodegradation in the 28 day study the substance is considered to be rapidly biodegradable. Based upon the long-term NOEC in the range of 0.1 to ≤ 1.0 mg/L and the substance being considered rapidly biodegradable, the substance has been classified as Chronic Category 3 under the CLP.
