- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: A solvent stock solution of the test item was prepared at a concentration of 1000 mg/100 mL in order to ensure that the maximum attainable dissolved test item concentration was obtained. Environmental measurements were not performed at 24 hours in order to limit the loss of test item through volatilization.
The test item solutions were prepared by initially dissolving 1000 mg of test item in a final volume of 100 mL of dimethylformamide. Aliquots (130, 260 and 530 µL, 1.1 and 2.1 mL) of this initial stock solution were each separately added to a final volume of 10 mL of dimethylformamide to give the further solvent stock solutions of 1.3, 2.6, 5.3, 11 and 21 mg/ 10 mL. An aliquot (50 µL) of the 1.3, 2.6, 5.3, 11 and 21 mg/ 10 mL solvent stock solutions were then each separately dispersed in a final volume of 500 mL of Elendt M7 to give the 0.013, 0.026, 0.053, 0.11 and 0.21 mg/L test concentrations.
Each solvent stock solution and each prepared concentration was inverted several times to ensure adequate mixing and homogeneity.

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: approximately 2
- Range finding study: Several initial range-finding tests were performed using various methods of preparation.
- Test concentrations: Not specified
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: analysis of the initial test preparations showed inconsistent results were obtained, possibly due to the volatile nature of the test item. It was therefore considered appropriate to prepare a solvent stock solution of the test item at a concentration of 1000 mg/100 mL in order to ensure that the maximum attainable dissolved test item concentration was obtained. Furthermore, it was decided that environmental measurements would not be performed at 24 hours in order to limit the loss of test item through volatilization. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: A decline in measured concentration was observed in the old media at 48-hours.

Description of key information
Short-term toxicity to invertebrates: 48-h EC50 >0.1 mg/l (measured) (highest concentration tested) (OECD guideline 202)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A 48 hour EC50 value of >0.1 mg/l (geometric mean measured concentration) (highest concentration tested) has been determined for the effects of the registration substance on mobility of Daphnia magna (Harlan laboratories, 2013). In view of the test media preparation method/exposure regime it is likely that the test organisms were exposed predominantly to the tested substance. Effectively these results indicate no effects at the limit of achievable solubility in test medium.
