La méthode est applicable pour chaque substance à expérimenter, pour donner une idée globale de la toxicité aiguë létale vis-à-vis du Brachydanio rerio, dans les conditions de l'essai. Les résultats sont en eux-mêmes insuffisants pour définir des normes de qualité de l'eau en vue de la protection de l'environnement. La méthode est également applicable à certaines autres espèces de poissons d'eau douce comme organismes pour essai1). La méthode peut être adaptée pour d'autres poissons d'eau douce, marine ou saumâtre avec des modifications appropriées des conditions d'essai, concernant notamment la quantité et la qualité de l'eau de dilution et la température.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(I EC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 7346-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ~
ISOnC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 5, Biological methods.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition
(IS0 7346-3:1984), which has been technically revised.
IS0 7346 consists of the following parts, under the general title VVater
Determination of the acute lethal toxicity of substances to a

Introduction
The three parts of IS0 7346 describe methods of determining the acute
lethal toxicity of substances to the zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio
Hamilton-Buchanan) but it must be emphasized that the recommended
use of the zebra fish does not preclude the use of other species. The
methodologies presented here may also be used for other species of
freshwater, marine or brackish water fish, with appropriate modifications
of, for example, dilution water quality and the temperature conditions of
the test.
Within the three parts of IS0 7346, a choice can be made between static,
semi-static and flow-through methods. The static test, described in
IS0 7346-1, in which the solution is not renewed, has the advantage of
requiring simple apparatus, although the substances in the test vessel may
become depleted during the course of the test and the general quality of
the water may deteriorate. The flow-through method, described in this
part of IS0 7346, in which the test solution is replenished continuously,
overcomes such problems but requires the use of more complex appar-
atus. In the semi-static procedure, described in IS0 7346-2, the test sol-
utions are renewed every 24 h or 48 h, this method being a compromise
between the other two.
The flow-through method can be used for most types of substances, in-
cluding those unstable in water, but the concentrations of the test sub-
stance are determined wherever possible. The static method is limited to
the study of substances whose tested concentrations remain relatively
constant during the test period. The semi-static method can be used for
testing those substances whose concentrations can be maintained satis-
factorily throughout the test by renewal of the solutions every 24 h or
48 h. Special arrangements may be necessary for substances which are
highly volatile.
To assist in the preparation and maintenance of concentrations of sub-
stances which may be lethal at concentrations close to that of their
aqueous solu.bility, a small volume of solvent may be used, as specified in
the methods.
