Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- short-term toxicity to fish
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Test conducted according to Internal Guideline A.11 Page 6
The acute fish toxicity testing was performed according to published methods, which were adapted and standardized for the specific needs of the company, well before Test Guidelines for these methods were established by the OECD beginning 1981. This method is comparable to today’s standard testing procedure published by the OECD within Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 203. - GLP compliance:

- Executive summary:
The substance has been tested for acute fish toxicity according to Internal Method A.11. During the test 8 trouts of undefined specie have been used per concentration. The tested concentrations were 3, 10, 30, 100 mg/l in water. The test has shown TL0 = 3 mg/l, TL50 = 14.5 mg/l and TL100 = 30 mg/l.

Additional information
According to the CLP Regulation (EC) n. 1272/2008 ‘acute (short-term) hazard’ means for classification purposes the hazard of a substance or mixture caused by its acute toxicity to an organism during short-term aquatic exposure to that substance or mixture.
For acute toxicity to fish one test is available with an LC50 = 14.5 mg/l. Moreover the substance shows a logPow= -0.4975 and no evidence of rapid biodegradation.
For acute fish toxicity the publication of Yung-Tse Hung (2013)[1](LD50 = 12 mg/l) is referred in the OECD Toolbox database.
