Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The 48 hour EC50 of Daphnia magna was determiend to be 0.38 mg/L OCBC.
Executive summary:

OCBC was assessed in an acute toxicity test to Daphnia magna, according to OECD guideline 202. Daphnids were exposed in a flow-through test to the test item for 48 hours at nominal concentrations of 0.10, 0.18, 0.32, 0.56 and 1.0 mg/L. The 48 h EC50 was determined to be 0.38 mg/L.
