Test concentrations:
Test concentrations selected for the experiment are based upon the available data and hence the range finding study was planned using two test substance concentrations i.e., 5 mg/L and 7.5 mg/L.
Range finding test:
Range finding test was conducted with the two test concentrations, viz., 5 mg/L and 7.5 mg/L. But at 7.5 mg/L one mortality was observed within 24 hrs. Therefore, the experiment was continued for both the concentration, i.e., 5 mg/L and 7.5 mg/L in which no mortality was found. Observations (mortality, visible symptoms, pH, Temperature, dissolved oxygen content) were recorded after 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and 96 hours of the start of the experiment. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 96 hrs Lethal concentration (LC50) value of test chemical on Danio rerio fish was observed at dose concentration of > 7.5 mg/L. As no effect were observed at 7.5 mg/l nominal concentration.
- Executive summary:
A 96 h study was conducted for test chemical on Danio rerio, at the test concentrations of 5mg/L, & 7.5 mg/L. In5mg/L, & 7.5 mg/L, the fishes were found to be freely swimming in the bowl aquaria. The test substance was soluble in water. Therefore, the test solution was prepared by dissolving 50 mg & 75 mg of the test substance in 10 liters deionized water with continuous stirring for achieving test concentrations of 5 mg/L and 7.5 mg/L, respectively. No mortalities were found in the control aquaria. Hence the LC50 value was considered to be > 7.5 mg/L and the LC0 value was determine to be 7.5 mg/l. Thus considering CLP Criteria for aquatic classification of the substance , it is concluded that test chemical exhibits short term toxicity to fish (Danio rerio) and classified in the chronic 2 classification category. But as the chemical was readily biodegradable in water, thus on that basis chemical consider to be nontoxic and not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

Additional information
Based on the various experimental data for the test chemical study have been reviewed to determine the toxic nature of test chemical on the mortality of fish. The studies are as mentioned below:
A 96 h study was conducted for test chemical on Danio rerio, at the test concentrations of 5mg/L, & 7.5 mg/L. In5mg/L, & 7.5 mg/L, the fishes were found to be freely swimming in the bowl aquaria. The test substance was soluble in water. Therefore, the test solution was prepared by dissolving 50 mg & 75 mg of the test substance in 10 liters deionized water with continuous stirring for achieving test concentrations of 5 mg/L and 7.5 mg/L, respectively. No mortalities were found in the control aquaria. Hence the LC50 value was considered to be > 7.5 mg/L and the LC0 value was determine to be 7.5 mg/l. Thus considering CLP Criteria for aquatic classification of the substance, it is concluded that test chemical exhibits short term toxicity to fish (Danio rerio) and classified in the chronic 2 classification category.
First study was supported by the second experimental study for test chemical. Short term toxicity of test chemical was studied in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) fish. Before testing chemical was analytically monitorized by gas liquid chromatography. Stock solution of test chemical (42.3 mg/l) were prepared by blending. 29 days old fishes were used for the study under the flow-through system. The 96 hrs Lethal concentration (LC50) and effective concentration (EC50) value of test chemical on fish Pimephales promelas was observed at dose concentration of 5.09 mg/l and 4.71 mg/l respectively. Thus considering CLP Criteria for aquatic classification of the substance, it is concluded that tes test chemical exhibits short term toxicity to fish (Pimephales promelas) and classified in the chronic 2 classification category.
Based on the above studies, it was conclude that the chemical was toxic and can be consider to be classified in aquatic chronic 2 category as per the CLP classification criteria. But as the chemical was readily biodegradable in water, thus on that basis chemical consider to be nontoxic and not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
