Details on results:
Mortality
Cumulative mortality of each group at 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h after the start of the test are shown in Table 1. below.
The cumulative mortality of blank control was 0% at the end of the test, which met the criterion for the validity of the test .

Observed abnormal response
The abnormal response observed during the test are shown in Table 2 below.
No abnormal response was observed in blank control and test substance group.

Measurement of temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen of test solution
The temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen of each test group at 0h, 96h and 24h, 48h, 72h (after and before the renewal) after the start of the test are shown in Tables 3 - 5 below.
During the test, the measurement values of pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen ranged from 7.55 to 8.40, 24.1℃ to 24.8℃, and 64% to 95%, respectively. The dissolved oxygen concentrations were kept at least 60 percent of the air saturation value, which met the criterion for the validity of the test.

Concentration of main constituent in test solution
The measured concentrations of main content in blank control was all < 0.01720mg/L (LOD) at 0h, 96h and 24h, 48h, 72h (after and before the renewal) after the start of the test.
The measured concentrations of main content in nominal concentration of 120 mg/L test substance solutions at 0h, 96h and 24h, 48h, 72h (after and before the renewal) after the start of the test were 59.56 mg/L (0h), 42.24 mg/L (24h old), 71.72 mg/L (24h new), 42.04 mg/L (48h old), 82.52 mg/L (48h new), 44.44 mg/L (72h old), 77.12 mg/L (72h new) and 41.64 mg/L (96h). During renewing the test solution at 24 hour intervals, the actual concentration of main content cannot be maintained within 80%-120% of the nominal concentration of main content (86.4mg/L).

Median Lethal Concentration (LC50)
The LC50 at 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h after the start of the test are shown in Table 6 below.
At the end of the test, the cumulative mortality of nominal concentration of 120 mg/L test substance group was 0%, so the 96h-LC50 of test substance to Zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio) was greater than nominal concentration of 120 mg/L test substance solution (64.76 mg/L calculated based on the geometric mean of actual concentration of main constituent).
Results with reference substance (positive control):

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, the 96h-LC50 of test substance to Zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio) was greater than nominal concentration of 120 mg/L test substance solution (64.76 mg/L calculated based on the geometric mean of actual concentration of main constituent). 96h Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) was greater than nominal concentration of 120 mg/L test substance solution (64.76 mg/L calculated based on the geometric mean of actual concentration of main constituent), 96h No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was nominal concentration of 120 mg/L test substance solution (64.76 mg/L calculated based on the geometric mean of actual concentration of main constituent).
Executive summary:

An acute fish toxicity test of Reactive Red F08 -0146 was conducted according to OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, 203 Fish Acute Toxicity Test. Paris: OECD, Adopted 17 July 1992.

Under the conditions of the test, the 96h-LC50 of test substance to Zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio) was greater than nominal concentration of 120 mg/L test substance solution (64.76 mg/L calculated based on the geometric mean of actual concentration of main content). The 96h Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) was greater than nominal concentration of 120 mg/L test substance solution (64.76 mg/L calculated based on the geometric mean of actual concentration of main content), the 96h No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was nominal concentration of 120 mg/L test substance solution (64.76 mg/L calculated based on the geometric mean of actual concentration of the main constituent).

The nominal values for the LC50 and the NOEC have been used for to determine classification for the following reasons:

Reactive dyes do not historically cause toxicity to fish and no effects on fish were observed in this study.

The lower than expected geometric mean value noted in this study is probably due to hydrolysis of Reactive Red F08-0146 under test conditions therefore it is not an accurate value. The results of the hydrolysis study included in Chapter 5.1.2 of this dossier shows that Reactive Red F08-0146 undergoes significant hydrolysis at neutral pH. The results of this study indicate that the hydrolysis products of the test substance do not appear to harm fish.

The test substance is not classified based on the 96h LC50 > 120 mg/L (nominal concentration).
