- Details on sampling:
- The analytical results showed that measured test substance concentrations in samples taken from nominally 100 mg/L decreased from 96 mg/L at the start to 79 mg/L after 24 hours and to 32 mg/L after 96 hours of exposure. Consequently, it was decided to continue with renewal of test solutions after each 24h period to maintain concentrations at > 80% relative to initial.
Sampling: frequency at t=0 h, t=24 h and t=96 h. Volume 10 ml from the approximate centre of the test vessels. Storage Samples were stored in a freezer until analysis.
Preparation of test solutions started with a stock solution of 100 mg/L applying 15 minutes of magnetic stirring to accelerate the dissolving of the test substance in the test medium. The lower test concentrations for the range-finding test were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the stock in test medium. Test solutions were renewed after each 24-hour interval during the limit test. The final test solutions were all clear and colourless. - Vehicle:
- yes
- Details on test solutions:
- A combined limit/range-finding test was performed. The project started with a static range-finding test exposing three carp per concentration to nominal test concentrations concentrations of 0.1, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L. No effects were observed during the test period up to and including 100 mg/L. The project was continued with a limit test exposing seven carp per concentration to a blank control and a nominal test substance concentration of 100 mg/L applying a semi-static test design. Samples for analyses were taken from the freshly prepared solutions at the start and after 72 hours and from 24-hour spent solutions after 24 and 96 hours of exposure.

- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- PCP induced no lethal effects in carp at or below 0.22 mg/L. The 96h-LC50 for carp exposed to PCP was 0.32 mg/L (95 % confidence interval between 0.22 and 0.46 mg/l) and already reached within 24 hours of exposure. The range of the 96hLC50 for carp is generally between 0.10 and 0.46 mg/l based on historical data of reference tests performed approximately every 3 months from April 1988 until the end 2000, and annually since then. The response observed in carp originating from the present batch falls within this range.
- Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
- Analysis of the samples taken during the limit test showed that measured concentrations were in agreement with nominal in both the freshly prepared solutions and the 24-hour spent solutions. Recoveries ranged between 87 and 97% of nominal. Hence, further results were based on nominal concentrations.

- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, the 96h LC50 and NOEC for carp (Cyprinus carpio) were determined to be: > 100 mg/L and 100 mg/L, respectively.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the short-term toxicity of the test substance to fish according to OECD guideline 203, EU Method C.1 and ISO 7346 -2. Carp were exposed to the test substance at concentrations of 0.1, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L (nominal) for 96 h under static conditions. Samples for analytical confirmation were taken from the freshly prepared solutions at the start and after 72 h and from 24-h spent solutions after 24 and 96 h of exposure. Mortality and other effects were observed at 2¾, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h following the start of exposure. Analysis of the samples taken during the limit test showed that measured concentrations were in agreement with nominal in both the freshly prepared solutions and the 24-h spent solutions. Recoveries ranged between 87 and 97% of nominal. Hence, further results were based on nominal concentrations. The test substance induced no visible effects in carp at or below 100 mg/L (NOEC). Hence, no LC50 could be calculated (i.e., LC50 > maximum concentration tested). The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the protocol and was considered valid. Under the study conditions, the 96 h EC50 for carp (Cyprinus carpio) was considered to be >100 mg/L and the 96 h NOEC at 100 mg/L (Migchielsen, 2004).

- Executive summary:
The study was conducted on a source substance to determine the short-term toxicity of the test item to fish according to OECD TG 203, EU Method C.1 and ISO 7346 -2 under GLP. Carp (Cyprinus carpio, Teleostei, Cyprinidae) were exposed to the test item at concentrations of: 0 (control), 0.1, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L (nominal) for 96 h under static conditions. Samples for analytical confirmation of concentrations were taken from the freshly prepared solutions at the start and after 72 h and from 24 h old solutions after 24h and 96 h of exposure. Mortality and other effects were observed at 2.75, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h following the start of exposure. Analysis of the samples taken during the limit test showed that measured concentrations were in agreement with nominal concentrations in both the freshly prepared solutions and the 24 h old/spent solutions. Recoveries ranged between 87 and 97% of nominal concentrations. Hence, effect levels were estimated based on nominal concentrations. The test item induced no visible effects in Carp at or below 100 mg/L (NOEC). Hence, no LC50 could be calculated (i.e. LC50 greater than maximum concentration tested). The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the guidelines. Under the conditions of this study, the 96 h EC50 for common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was considered to be > 100 mg/L nominal and the 96-h NOEC at was 100 mg/L.

2. Description of results and assessment of reliability of the prediction:
The test item ‘Reaction products of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and diphosphorous pentoxide and water’is a substance of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological Materials (UVCB). his complex substance falls under the category of substances difficult to test defined in ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Chapter R7.b: Endpoint Specific Guidance, Appendix R.7.8-1. As the test item is difficult to test and assessment has been conducted using the block method (reference: Redman et al. PETROTOX: An Aquatic Toxicity Model for Petroleum Substances.: Env, Toxicol. Chem. 31: 2487-2506).
1) ECOSAR v1.11 – Fish 96h LC50
2) Aquatic Toxicity Assessment of UVCB substances using the Additivity Approach
Inputs Used for Test Item: All modelling was based on input of SMILES notation for each constituent of the test item and respective hydrolysis products (presented in the attached Aquatic Toxicity Predictions 30-05-2018 QPRF report), meaning that the process relied on modelled values for Kow and water solubility to define the blocks. This approach is in line with the PETROTOX methodology and ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Chapter R7.b for hazard assessment of complex mixtures.

For the purpose of concluding on classification and labelling for this substance the additivity formula from Annex I, Section 4.1.3.5.2 of CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 is applied to data on the known components of the substance. The effect values for the test item for each relevant trophic group are presented in the following table.

3) Assessment of Degradability for the purpose of Classification and Labelling
The following data are considered for conclusion on classification and labelling of the test item:
Aquatic toxicity data availability: Acute
96 h EC50 for Daphnia: 0.37 mg/L
Substance rapidly degradable: YES
Log Kow: < 4
Based on the above considerations, the substance is precautionarily classified as hazardous to the environment under CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008: Acute Category 1: H410 - H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. It must be emphasised by applicant assessment, that it is considered to be a very precautionary classification as comparable UVCB test items, have in experimental testing demonstrated E(L)C50 of > 100 mg/L in relevant testing in Daphnia, Algae and Fish (ECHA, 2018). Further evidence, generated at a later date may confirm the suggestion that no classification and labelling is warranted. For example: at REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006: Annex VIII information requirements.
Assessment of the substance within the applicability domain as documented within the corresponding QMRF named ‘QMRF named 'QMRF Title: ECOSAR v1.11 Fish 96h LC50’ version 1.1; updated 30 May 2018 – section 5;indicates the substance:
(i) Falls within the Log Kow domain of < 5 (general domain for the model; and relevant chemical classes specific cut off);
(ii) Molecular weights of all constituents are < 1000 g/mol and;
(iii) Effect levels are predicted below the water solubility.
The ECOSAR QSAR model as detailed is not known to function by specific modes of action associated with the chemical class(es) assigned. Full references to training set data are presented within ECOSAR v1.1 Help System; if not proprietary (in such cases the chemical identification is listed as CBI, but the relevant descriptor data are provided). A summary of this information is presented by the applicant. The substances in the training set are considered analogues to the target substance since they possess relevant chemical groups and log Kow < 5 and MW < 1000 g/mol. The substance and the structural analogues share a common functional group and physico-chemical domains versus a neutral organics class (baseline toxicity). The ECOSAR class is based on similar relationships between toxicity and the various types of pharmacologic properties.
3. Uncertainty of the prediction and mechanistic domain:
No external validation set is available for the chemical class used in this prediction.
Consistency of ECOSAR data compared to measured toxicity showed 60-64 % of green algae predictions (all chemical classes assessed) within a tolerance factor of 10, which is comparable to that seen in Hulzebos & Posthumus (2003).
Uncertainty in the prediction relates to:
Limited external validation on the relevant chemical classes Model predictivity could be improved by the assignment of additional chemical categories and expansion of sub-structure rules, in addition further substances addition to the training set and rules for stereochemical effects within the model would improve predictivity. The ECOSAR QSAR model as detailed is not known to function by specific modes of action associated with the chemical class(es) assigned. ECOSAR classes are grouped based on similar relationships between toxicity and the various types of pharmacologic properties. The model does not apply a mechanistic approach to assessment of toxicity other than assignment of chemical classes (to identify potential toxicity in excess of baseline narcosis) using an expert decision tree.

Additional information
Key data : OECD TG 203, 2004 : Read-Across SOURCE ( Reaction products of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and diphosphorus pentaoxide ): The study was conducted to determine the short-term toxicity of the test item to fish according to OECD TG 203, EU Method C.1 and ISO 7346 -2 under GLP. Carp (Cyprinus carpio, Teleostei, Cyprinidae) were exposed to the test item at concentrations of: 0 (control), 0.1, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L (nominal) for 96 h under static conditions. Samples for analytical confirmation of concentrations were taken from the freshly prepared solutions at the start and after 72 h and from 24 h old solutions after 24h and 96 h of exposure. Mortality and other effects were observed at 2.75, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h following the start of exposure. Analysis of the samples taken during the limit test showed that measured concentrations were in agreement with nominal concentrations in both the freshly prepared solutions and the 24 h old/spent solutions. Recoveries ranged between 87 and 97% of nominal concentrations. Hence, effect levels were estimated based on nominal concentrations. The test item induced no visible effects in Carp at or below 100 mg/L (NOEC). Hence, no LC50 could be calculated (i.e. LC50 greater than maximum concentration tested). The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the guidelines. Under the conditions of this study, the 96 h EC50 for common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was considered to be > 100 mg/L nominal and the 96 h NOEC at was 100 mg/L.
