Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The toxic effect of the test item Tin Tetrachloride to Daphnia magna was assessed in a static test. The 48-hour EC50 was determined to be 6.2 mg/L (measured at the beginning and at the end of the test).
Executive summary:

Tin tetrachloride was investigated for acute toxicity to Daphnia magna in a static test according to OECD 202. The 48-hour EC50 was determined to be 6.2 mg/L ( measured at the beginning and at the end of the test). The validity criteria were fullfilled
