GUIDANC E NOTE

 

 

1          The composition of the product should be fully specified, given that tank cleaning additives are evaluatedonthebasisofanyindividualingredient.   Componentswhichhaveoneorbothofthefollowing characteristicsshouldnotbeusedintankcleaningadditiveformulations:

 

 

.1         Componentswhicharepersistentandbioaccumulatingtoasignificantextentandknownto produceahazardtoaquaticlifeorhumanhealth.

 

 

.2         Components which are severely toxic to marine life, i.e. those having an LC50 value

 

of0.1ppmorless.

 

 

2          IfactiveingredientsincludepollutioncategoryAsubstances(accordingtotheIBCCode,GESAMP Hazard Profile or provisional assessment), test data for ready biodegradability must be provided.   The proportionofsuchingredientsmustbelessthan10%ofthetotalproductforthetankcleaningadditivetobe accepted. Substancesnotpreviouslyassessedmustbetestedforreadybiodegradability,aquatictoxicityand bioaccumulation. Forcomponentsthathavenotbeenevaluatedpreviouslybytheabove-mentionedbodies, aquatictoxicityshouldbeinvestigatedfirst. Ifshowntobebelow1mg/l,thecomponentshouldthenbe testedforreadybiodegradability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.1         AcuteAquaticToxicityData

 

 

ThetestproceduresforaquatictoxicitysuchasOECD203,itsISOorotherequivalents, shouldbeusedforsolublesubstances.   Forsubstancesoflowsolubility,Annex9ofIMO GESAMP Reports and Studies No. 35 should be followed.                                                     A marine or fresh water crustacean is considered to be suitable for such testing purposes (e.g., Daphnia magna, Mysidopsisbahia,ChaetogammarusmarinusandAcartiatonsa).   Existingdataonfishor crustaceanswouldbeacceptableforassessment.

.3         TheLogOctanolWaterPartitionCoefficient

 

 

Thiscoefficient(Log Pow) is a predictive measure of the tendency of a substance to accumulate in the fatty tissues of an organism.                           It can be measured using OECD Guidelines107or117,itsISOorotherequivalents,oralternativelyitcanbecalculatedusing fragmentalconstants(QSAR). Ifavailable,measuredbioconcentrationdataarepreferred.
