Model Amendment Regulations – <strong>Transport</strong> of Dangerous Goods by Road or Rail – Package No. 2 Chronic NOEC or EC x (for crustacea) Chronic NOEC or EC x (for algae or other aquatic plants) 0.1 mg/l and/or 0.1 mg/l (iii) Substances for which adequate chronic toxicity data are not available Category Chronic 1: (see Note 2) 96 hr LC 50 (for fish) 1 mg/l and/or 48 hr EC 50 (for crustacea) 1 mg/l and/or 72 or 96hr ErC 50 (for algae or other aquatic plants) 1 mg/l (see Note 3) and the substance is not rapidly degradable and/or the experimentally determined BCF is 500 (or, if absent the log K ow 4) (see Notes 4 and 5). Category Chronic 2: 96 hr LC 50 (for fish) >1 but 10 mg/l and/or 48 hr EC 50 (for crustacea) >1 but 10 mg/l and/or 72 or 96hr ErC 50 (for algae or other aquatic plants) >1 but 10 mg/l (see Note 3) and the substance is not rapidly degradable and/or the experimentally determined BCF is 500 (or, if absent the log K ow 4 (see Notes 4 and 5). NOTE 1: The organisms fish, crustacea and algae are tested as surrogate species covering a range of trophic levels and taxa, and the test methods are highly standardized. Data on other organisms may also be considered, however, provided they represent equivalent species and test endpoints. NOTE 2: When classifying substances as Acute 1 and/or Chronic 1 it is necessary at the same time to indicate an appropriate M factor (see 2.9.3.4.6.4) to apply the summation method. NOTE 3: Where the algal toxicity ErC 50 (= EC 50 (growth rate)) falls more than 100 times below the next most sensitive species and results in a classification based solely on this effect, consideration must be given to whether this toxicity is representative of the toxicity to aquatic plants. Where it can be shown that this is not the case, professional judgment must be used in deciding if classification must be applied. Classification must be based on the ErC 50 . In circumstances where the basis of the EC 50 is not specified and no ErC 50 is recorded, classification must be based on the lowest EC 50 available. NOTE 4: Lack of rapid degradability is based on either a lack of ready biodegradability or other evidence of lack of rapid degradation. When no useful data on degradability are available, either experimentally determined or estimated data, the substance must be regarded as not rapidly degradable.

Measured log K ow values take precedence over estimated values and measured BCF values take precedence over log K ow values. Figure 2.9.1: Categories for substances long-term hazardous to the aquatic environment Are there adequate chronic toxicity data available for all three trophic levels? See Note 2 to Table 2.9.1 Yes Classify according to the criteria given in Table 2.9.1(b) (i) or 2.9.1(b)(ii) depending on information on rapid degradation No Are there adequate chronic toxicity data available for one or two trophic levels? No Are there adequate acute toxicity data available? Yes Yes Assess both: (a) according to the criteria given in Table 2.9.1(b)(i) or 2.9.1(b)(ii) (depending on information on rapid degradation), and (b) (if for the other trophic level(s) adequate acute toxicity data are available) according to the criteria given in Table 2.9.1(b) (iii), and classify according to the most stringent outcome Classify according to the criteria given in Table 2.9.1(b) (iii) 2.9.3.3.2 The classification scheme in Table 2.9.2 below summarizes the classification criteria for substances.
