- Remarks on result:

- Details on results:
- - Mortality of parent animals: No mortality or other visible effects were recorded for the parental organisms at any of the test item concentrations tested.
- During the exposure period of 21 days, the mean values for living offspring recorded at test item concentrations up to and including 320 mg/L were within same range as those found in the control group. After the first brood, the parental Daphnia exposed to 1000 mg/L frequently released unhatched eggs instead of living young. Hence, the reproductive capacity of these organisms was substantially lower than those found in the other
groups after 21 days of exposure. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical analysis of the data for reproduction at the end of the 21-day exposure period showed that significant reduction of the reproductive capacity of Daphnia magna occurred at 320 and 1000 mg/L (Bonferroni t-test, P=0.05). Comparison of the reproduction values between the different gruops showed that the mean value recorded at 1000 mg/L was significantly lower than those of all other groups Tukey test, P=0.05). Only the effect recorded at 1000 mg/L should be considered as a biologically significant effect.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- In this reproduction study FeNaEDDHMA had no effect on the survival of Daphnia magna at concentrations up to and including 1000 mg/L. A biologically relevant effect on reproductive capacity of Daphnia magna was noted at 1000 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The effects of the FeNaEDDHMA on survival and reproductive Performance in Daphnia magna during 21 days of exposure were investigated in an OECD guideline No. 211 "Daphnia magna Reproduction Test".
The nominal concentrations tested were 10, 32, 100, 320 and 1000 mg/L. Duration of the study was 21 days and the test solutions were renewed three times a week. 10 neonate daphnia for the test concentrations and 20 neonate daphnia for the control group were investigated. At the start of the test and every workday, the condition of the parental daphnia was recorded and during the reproduction phase the number of living offspring, immobile young and the presence of unhatched eggs were recorded. During the study duplicate samples of 10 ml were taken from freshly prepared solutions on days 0, 7, 14 and 19, from 72-hour old solutions on day 3 and from 48-hour old solutions on day 21. Samples were stored in a deep-freeze until possible anaiysis.
Analysis of the samples showed that the method of preparation of test media provided repeatable recoveries of test substance concentration. Measured concentrations were all in agreement with nominal, except for those measured in the samples taken at 1000 mg/L (85% - 89%) during the 2 -day period after the last renewal. Further, the measured concentrations were stable during the periods between renewals of the test solutions.
No mortality or other visible effects were recorded for the parental organisms at any of the test item concentrations tested.During the total exposure period of 21 days, no significant (greater than 10%) immobilisation (including mortality) of newborn young was observed at any of the test concentrations.
In conclusion the FeNaEDDHMA had no effect on the survival of Daphnia magna at concentrations up to and including 1000 mg/L in this reproduction study. The test item affected the reproductive capacity of Daphnia magna at concentrations of 320 and 1000 mg/L. A biologically relevant effect on reproductive capacity of Daphnia magna was noted at 1000 mg/L.

Additional information
Since no studies are available on invertebrate toxicity of Acetic acid, oxo-, sodium salt, reaction products with ethylenediamine and phenol, iron sodium salts (CAS No. 84539-55-9), the assessment was based on a study conducted with source substance N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)ethylenediamine diacetic acid, ferric-sodium complex (CAS No. 149057-66-9) in a read across approach. This is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. Grouping of substance and read across approach. Further justification for suitability of read across between target and source substance is given in the read across justification document attached to chapter 13.
The key study was performed according to OECD 211 and GLP using Daphnia magna as test organism (Bogers 1995). Concentrations between 10 and 1000 mg/L were tested. Test concentrations were analytically verified. No treatment showed significant differences to the control regarding mortality of parent animals. The substance affected the reproductive capacity at concentrations of 320 and 1000 mg/L. However, only the effect recorded at 1000 mg/L can be considered as a biologically significant effect. Thus, the 21d-NOEC is determined to be 320 mg/L based on nominal concentrations.
Based on the suitability of the read across this can also considered to be true for Acetic acid, oxo-, sodium salt, reaction products with ethylenediamine and phenol, iron sodium salts (CAS No. 84539-55-9).
