1、Designation:D608122Standard Practice forAquatic Toxicity Testing of Lubricants:Sample Preparationand Results Interpretation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6081;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the
2、 year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This practice covers procedures to be used in thepreparation of lubricants or their components for toxicitytestin
3、g in aquatic systems and in the interpretation of the resultsof such tests.1.2 This practice is suitable for use on fully-formulatedlubricants or their components that are not completely solubleat the intended test treat rates.It is also suitable for use withadditives,if the additive is tested after
4、 being blended into acarrier fluid at the approximate concentration as in the intendedfully formulated lubricant.The carrier fluid shall meet theabove solubility criterion,be known to be minimally toxic inthe toxicity test in which the material will be tested,and beknown to have a chemical compositi
5、on similar to the rest of theintended fully formulated lubricant.1.3 Samples prepared in accordance with this practice maybe used in acute or chronic aquatic toxicity tests conducted infresh water or salt water with fish,large invertebrates,or algae.This practice does not address preparation of samp
6、les for planttoxicity testing other than algae.1.4 Standard acute and chronic aquatic toxicity proceduresare more appropriate for lubricants with compositions that arecompletely soluble at the intended test treat rates(1,2,3,4,5).21.5 This practice is intended for use with lubricants orlubricant com
7、ponents of any volatility.1.6 This practice does not address any questions regardingthe effects of any lubricant or lubricant component on humanhealth.1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.8 This standard does not
