- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
The standard test procedures required generation of test solutions, which should contain completely dissolved test substance concentrations or stable and homogeneous mixtures or dispersions. The testing of concentrations that disturb the test system should be prevented (e.g. film of the test substance on the water surface).
The batch of TDI-Urone tested was a clear colourless powder with a purity of 97.5% active content (being a mixture of isomers) and completely soluble in test medium at the concentrations tested.
Preparation of test solutions started with the highest test concentration of 100 mg/l applying a short period of magnetic stirring (~10 minutes) to ensure complete dissolution in test medium. The lower test concentrations for the combined limit/range-finding test were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the highest concentration in test medium. The final test solutions were all clear and colourless. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:

- EC50:
* The 24h-EC 50 was 0.53 mg/l with a 95% confidence interval between 0.47 and 0.62 mg/l.
* The 48h-EC 50 was 0.28 mg/l with a 95% confidence interval between 0.26 and 0.32 mg/l.
- The actual responses in this reference test with K 2 Cr 2 O 7 were just outside (below) the ranges of the expected historical responses at the different concentrations, i.e. a 48h-EC 50 between 0.3 and 1.0 mg/l. Hence, the sensitivity of this batch of D. magna was slightly higher when compared to the historical data collected at NOTOX. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Calculation of EC50:
No EC50 could be calculated because the test substance proved to be non-toxic (EC 50 > maximum concentration tested).
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- < 10 % immobilsation in controls; oxygen content in control and test vessels was > 3 mg/L.
- Conclusions:
- TDI-Urone did not induce acute immobilisation of Daphnia magna at 100 mg/l after 48 hours of exposure (NOEC).
The 48h-EC 50 exceeded 100 mg/l based on analytically confirmed nominal concentrations. - Executive summary:
Acute Toxicity Study in Daphnia magna with TDI-Urone.
The study procedures described in this report were based on the OECD guideline No. 202, 2004. In addition, the procedures were designed to meet the test methods of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Part C.2, 2008 and the ISO International Standard 6341, 1996.
The batch of TDI-Urone tested was a clear colourless powder with a purity of 97.5% active content (being a mixture of isomers) and completely soluble in test medium at the concentrations tested.
A limit test was performed based on the results obtained in a preceding combined limit/range-finding test. Twenty daphnia per test group (4 replicates, 5 per replicate) were exposed to both a control and a TDI-Urone concentration of 100 mg/l. The total test period was 48 hours. Samples for analytical confirmation of actual exposure concentrations were taken at the start and the end of the test period.
Analysis of the samples taken from 100 mg/l at the start and the end of the test showed that the measured concentration was stable and in agreement with nominal (100%).
The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the protocol and was considered valid. TDI-Urone did not induce acute immobilisation of Daphnia magna at 100 mg/l after 48 hours of exposure (NOEC).
The 48h-EC 50 exceeded 100 mg/l based on analytically confirmed nominal concentrations.

RESULTS
1. Calibration curves
Calibration curves were constructed using five concentrations. For each concentration, two responses were used. Linear regression analysis was performed using the least squares method with a 1/concentration^2 weighting factor. The coefficient of correlation (r) was > 0.99 for each curve.
2. Samples
2.1. Procedural recovery samples
The results for the procedural recovery samples are given in Table 1.
Table 1 Procedural recovery samples
Date of preparation [dd-mm-yy] | Date of analysis [dd-mm-yy] | Target concentration [mg/l] | Nominal concentration [mg/l] | Analysed concentration [mg/l] | Recovery [%] | Mean recovery [%] |

10-02-12 | 10-02-12 | 100 | 100 / 100 | 102 / 99.5 | 101 / 99 | 100 |
The mean recoveries of the procedural recovery samples fell within the criterion of 70-110%. It demonstrated that the analytical method was adequate for the determination of the test substance in the test samples.

3. Combined limit/range-finding test
Immobility ranged between 0 and 20% in the different concentrations (0 - 100 mg TDI-Urone/L) without a relation to the concentration. High numbers of trapped daphnia were observed throughout the test in all solutions. It was expected that the EC50 exceeded the highest concentration tested, but due to the high numbers of floaters it was decided to confirm this in a subsequent limit test. Analytical results of samples taken from nominally 100 mg/l showed that the measured concentration was stable and in agreement with nominal (101 -102%).
4. Limit test - Immobility
The responses recorded in this test confirmed that the EC50 exceeded 100 mg/l. No effects were observed at this exposure concentration throughout the test period. The 5% immobility (1 daphnid) found in the control is within the acceptability criterion for the control.

Additional information
The study procedures described in this report were based on the OECD guideline No. 202, 2004. In addition, the procedures were designed to meet the test methods of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Part C.2, 2008 and the ISO International Standard 6341, 1996.
The batch of TDI-Urone tested was a clear colourless powder with a purity of 97.5% active content (being a mixture of isomers) and completely soluble in test medium at the concentrations tested.
A limit test was performed based on the results obtained in a preceding combined limit/range-finding test. Twenty daphnia per test group (4 replicates, 5 daphnia per replicate) were exposed to both a control and a TDI-Urone concentration of 100 mg/l. The total test period was 48 hours. Samples for analytical confirmation of actual exposure concentrations were taken at the start and the end of the test period.
Analysis of the samples taken from 100 mg/l at the start and the end of the test showed that the measured concentration was stable and in agreement with nominal (100%).
The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the protocol and was considered valid. TDI-Urone did not induce acute immobilisation of Daphnia magna at 100 mg/l after 48 hours of exposure (NOEC).
The 48h-EC 50 exceeded 100 mg/l based on analytically confirmed nominal concentrations.
In addition, the Degussa 2005 Safety Data Sheet reports the EC50 of TDI-Urone for Daphnia magna to be 1000 mg/L. This information, however, is not considered to be reliable as not details on test design and results are available for assessment.
