Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Fresh water invertebrates

Fresh water invertebrates
Effect concentration:
8.87 mg/L

Additional information

Read across on Sodium Valproate

Method: OECD Test Guideline 211 Data relate to another salt.

Species: Daphnia magna

Exposure duration: 21 d 

Reproduction per Survived Parent (Cumulative Offspring per Survived Parent):

21-day NOEC : ≥ 8.87 mg test item/L (time weighted average concentration); ≥ 10 mg test item/L (nominal concentrations)

21-day EC50 : > 8.87 mg test item/L (time weighted average concentration); > 10 mg test item/L (nominal concentrations)

21-day EC10 : > 8.87 mg test item/L (time weighted average concentration); > 10 mg test item/L (nominal concentrations)

Mortality:

21-day NOEC : ≥ 8.87 mg test item/L (time weighted average concentration); ≥ 10 mg test item/L (nominal concentrations)

21-day EC50 : > 8.87 mg test item/L (time weighted average concentration); > 10 mg test item/L (nominal concentrations)

Signs of Intoxication:

Apart from the reported mortality, dead offspring were observed during the test. According to the Guideline, these dead offspring are not considered in the evaluation of the results

10 mg/L was the highest tested dose.

Based on the read across on sodium valproate, valproic acid is expected to have a 21-day NOEC ≥ 8.87 mg test item/L and a 21-day EC50 : > 8.87 mg test item/L.
