Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
According to OECD 209 test method, the 3-hour EC50 of CJ302 was greater than 1000 mg/L.
Executive summary:

This test using the procedures outlined in the CiToxLAB Study Plan for 16/375-27AS and OECD 209 (OECD, 2010). The results of this OECD 209 test for CJ302 show that all validity criteria were met. The 3-hour EC50 of CJ302 was greater than 1000 mg/L.

Description of key information

The 3-hour EC50 of CJ302 was greater than 1000 mg/L (OECD TG 209).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
1 000 mg/L

Additional information

The average specific respiration rate of the blank controls was greater than 20 mg O2/L/h/g solid and the variation coefficient of oxygen uptake rate in above untreated replicates was not more than 30 %. The 3-hour EC50 of positive control substance (3,5-Dichlorophenol) was calculated to be in the range between 2 and 25 mg/L. All test validity criteria were met. Based on the results of this study, CJ302 had no inhibition effect on the total respiration rate of the microorganisms of the activated sludge at 1000 mg/L. No further testing is necessary. Therefore, the 3-hour EC50 of CJ302 was greater than 1000 mg/L.
