- Executive summary:
This study was performed according to OECD Guideline 202 and EU Method C.2 with GLP statement, to assess the acute toxicity of the test substance to the freshwater Daphnia magna under static conditions.
Daphnia (10 neonates per vessel) were exposed to a range of nominal concentrations 5.6 -56 mg/L, in duplicate. There was no specific analysis of the test substance. However, TOC (Total Organic Carbon) was taken as an indirect measure. Mean measured concentrations were found to be 2.5 -14 mg/L. The exposure vessels were placed in the test area according to a random distribution and in the temperature range 18.5 -21.0°C and under normal laboratory light intensity with a 16 hour light, 8 hour dark photoperiod.
The 48h-EC50 based on measured concentrations and calculated by the Moving Average method was 5.3 mg/L (95% Confidence limits at 4.4 -6.4 mg/L).

- Executive summary:
This study was performed according to DIN guideline 38412 Part 11 with GLP statement, to assess the acute toxicity of the test substance to Daphnia magna during 24 hours in static conditions.
One control and seven test substance concentrations were performed. Nominal concentrations were 2.6, 4.0, 5.5, 7.7, 11, 15.4 and 22 mg/L. Measured concentrations were not determined.
Based on percentage of immobilisation and nominal concentrations, the highest concentration tested without observed effect and the 24h-EC50 were determined to be 2.6 mg/L and 7 mg/L (95% confidence limit: 4.1 - 12 mg/L), respectively.
No information on purity of the test substance and raw data in control were provided in this report. Thus, validity criteria cannot be verified.

* Mean background measurement (ie. 9.7 mg/L TOC) has been subtracted from calculated mean values.
** Assuming 72.61% carbon content.
TOC concentrations were determined at 0 hours but cannot be used in the calculation of results since they cannot be adequately audited.
Mean measured concentrations of the test substance were 25 -45% of nominal values. TOC concentrations remained stable during the test. However, the stock used to prepare the test solutions was approximately a third of the nominal stock concentration at -24 hours ie. 22.7 mg/L as TOC. The nominal concentration was 72.6 mg/L. This may have resulted from the low aqueous solubility of the test substance.

Additional information
To assess the short-term toxicity of the registered substance to aquatic invertebrates Daphnia magna, two studies are available. Among this data, one study is assessed as the key study (Marshall, 1994) and the other study as supporting (Scholz, 1995).
According to the key study, performed in compliance to OECD Guideline 202 and EU Method C.2 with GLP statement, the freshwater Daphnia magna were exposed to a range of mean measured concentrations of 2.5 – 14 mg/L substance (two vessels per test concentration, with 10 neonates per vessel) under static conditions. The 48h-EC50 based on measured concentrations was 5.3 mg/L (95% Confidence limits at 4.4 -6.4 mg/L).
In the supporting study (Scholz, 1995), the test duration was only 24 hours and no analytical measurements were performed. Furthermore, some information were missing and validity criteria cannot be verified.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
