ISO 20666:2008 specifies a method for the determination of the chronic toxicity to rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus, based on population growth inhibition in 48 h.

The method is applicable to: a) chemical substances which are soluble or which can be maintained as stable suspensions or dispersions under the conditions of the test; b) industrial or sewage effluents, treated or untreated, if appropriate after decantation, filtration or centrifugation; c) fresh waters; d) aqueous extracts.
