PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method:
0.5003 g test substance was dispersed in 5000 mL dilution water. The test substance was added in drops to approximately 1000 mL dilution water, stirred by using magnetic stir plates and bars. Then the required amount of dilution water was added. The preparation was stirred for approximately half an hour to obtain a preparation for testing in which the test substance is completely hydrolyzed.
The concentration is presented in units of mg test substance equivalents / L to indicate that not the test substance but a variety of degradation products was tested.




Test organisms (species):
Danio rerio (previous name: Brachydanio rerio)

There were no unforeseen events.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The 96-hours LC50 value of the test substance, based on the nominal concentration of test substance equivalents at the start of the assay, was >100 mg/L. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was ≥100 mg/L.
The concentrations are presented in units of mg test substance equivalents / L to indicate that not the test substance but a variety of degradation products was tested.
Executive summary:

The Acute Toxicity of the test substance to the Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) was determined in a 96 hour static test (According to EU Method C.1). A total of 7 fish were treated with a single dose of 100 mg/L (Limit test). A negative control group was included. Test validity criteria were fulfilled.

The 96-hours LC50 value of the test substance, based on the nominal concentration at the start of the assay, was > 100 mg/L. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was ≥100 mg/L.

Description of key information

The 96-hours LC50 value of the test substance, based on the nominal concentration at the start of the assay, was > 100 mg/L.
