A loading rate of 100 mg/L is above the expected solubility of the substance in the test medium. Measured dissolved organic carbon concentrations were below 5% of the theoretical values at the start and end of the test. - Details on test conditions:

- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Details on results:
- - Immobilization of control: 5%
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: A loading rate of 100 mg/L is above the expected solubility of the substance in the test medium. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- There were insufficient toxic effects to determine an EL50 value. The EC50 and NOELR values were determined directly from the raw data.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- A 48-h EL50 value of >100 mg/L has been determined for the effects of the test substance on mobility of Daphnia magna based on nominal loading rate of the test substance. The NOELR in the test corresponded to a <10% concentration of the 100 mg/L water soluble fraction.

Description of key information
EL50 (48 h) > 100 mg/L (nominal, OECD 202, Daphnia magna) based on read across from CAS 16415-12-6
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No data on the toxicity of trimethoxyoctadecylsilane (CAS 3069-42-9) towards aquatic invertebrates are available. In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 “Grouping of substances and read across” and in accordance with the read across assessment framework (RAAF, ECHA 2017) a read across from the analogue substance hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (CAS 16415-12-6) has been applied to support the environmental hazard assessment of the substance. Details on the read across justification can be found in the attached justification in the respective target entry and in the overall justification for grouping of substances attached in IUCLID Section 13.
One reliable study is available for the analogue substance hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (CAS 16415-12-6) and was performed according to OECD 202 and GLP (LPT, 2003). Daphnia magna, as the test organism, was exposed to the nominal concentrations of 0 (control), 10 mg/L and 100 mg/L for 48 h. The test item solution was prepared by mixing 100 mg test item/L, shaking for 48 h and filtering through a 0.45 µm filter. The test item concentrations were monitored by DOC measurements during the test. However, measured values lay between 0.9 mg/L and below the detection limit. Due to rapid hydrolysis of the substance in aqueous environments (approx. 9.3 h at 20 °C), it is very likely that the test organisms were exposed to the hydrolysis products of the test substance. The 48 h study resulted in an EL50 of > 100 mg/L (nominal).
Based on the results of the analogue substance, trimethoxyoctadecylsilane (CAS 3069-42-9) is not assumed to cause harmful short-term effects to aquatic invertebrates.
