Remarks on result:

Details on results:
The validity criteria of 60 juvenils per adult were not met in control replicates 2 and 8.
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The EC50 values (immobilisation and reproduction) were determined to be 3.2-10 and 10 mg/L, respectively. The study was peformed under GLP and according to a clear guideline. No analysis has been performed and that is the major restriction of the study. This will limit the use of the data when looking at the bioavailable fraction of the test substance. The reviewer calculated an EC10, based on the available raw data with the use of toxcalc 5.0.
Executive summary:

The EC50 values (immobilisation and reproduction) were determined to be 3.2-10 and 10 mg/L, respectively. the test was done according to the OECD 202, part II guideline (1984). Test was done under GLP and is valid.

Additional information

Data on the long-term toxicity of the substance to aquatic invertebrates are not available. In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5. , the assessment is based on the structurally analogue substance Amines, polyethylenepoly-, triethylenetetramine fraction (CAS 90640-67-8). Please refer to the attached analogue justification for further details on the read-across approach.

The long-term toxicity of the source substance was investigated in a study following OECD 202 part II (at least 14 days). Daphnia magna were exposed to the test substance for 21 days in a semi-static test system. The tested nominal exposure concentrations were 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L. After an exposure period of 21 days an EC50 value of >3.2 - <10 mg/L based on the mobility of the parental animals was recorded. After 21 days an EC50 (21 d) of >10 mg/L (nominal) based on the reproduction rate was determined. The EC10 of 1.9 mg/L was determined via interpolation using the raw data (toxcalc v 5.0).

Based on the comparable acute toxicity profile of target and source substance a similar chronic toxicity is expected for target and source substance.
