Materials and methods

Test guideline

Test guideline 1

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test)

Deviations:

yes

Remarks:

, see "Principles of method if other than guideline"

Test guideline 2

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method C.2 (Acute Toxicity for Daphnia)

Deviations:

yes

Remarks:

, see "Principles of method if other than guideline"

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The following deviation from the Guideline was documented:
The concentration of methanol in the solvent control was higher than demanded in the
guideline. As no significant immobilisation observed during the test, this deviation was
stated as uncritical.
The deviation was signed and assessed by the study director on 29. Apr. 2009.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

All validity criteria were met. For the estimation of the EC50 of the positive control, the fit showed sufficient statistical correspondence of the data with the dose-response-equation. The 24h-EC50i of potassium dichromate was determined as 1.6 mg/L, lying within the demanded range of 0.6 - 1.7 mg/L.
No significant toxicity was observed in the control, the solvent control and the treatment. The analytical determinations of the test item showed that the limit of water solubility in the test solution was present during the test. The mean of the measured concentrations is calculated and used as effective concentration for the determination of the results.
All blanks were contaminated with test item Sa190 and all"24 hours" samples were contaminated with test item Sa 163. This might be caused by contaminated amber bottles. As both test items show adsorption to glass, the cleaning of the amber bottles was probably insufficient. As no significant immobilisation was observed during the test, this can be stated as uncritical. The result of the test is considered valid.
