Study design

Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
PREPARATION OF THE SAMPLES
- The test item was spiked to the buffers using a solution of the test item in water (500 mg/L)
- Target concentration: 1.5 mg/L.
- For each sampling time, duplicate vessels under vacuum were filled with 6 mL test solution.
- The vessels were placed in a temperature controlled environment in the dark.
- Blank buffers containing a similar content of blank spiking solution were treated similarly as the test samples (at t=0).

SAMPLING DETAILS
- Samples for analysis were taken immediately after preparation (t=0) and at t= 5 days.
- Samples take at t= 5 days were cooled to room temperature using running tap water.

pH MEASUREMENTS
The pH of the test solutions (except for the blanks) was determined at each sampling point.
Buffers:
Buffer pH 4: 16.7% 0.1M sodium acetate and 83.3% 0.1M acetic acid in water.

Buffer pH 7: 0.1M potassium di-hydrogenphosphate in water adjusted to pH 7 using 10N sodium hydroxide.

Buffer pH 9: 0.1M boric acid and 0.1M potassium chloride in water adjusted to pH 9 using 10N sodium hydroxide.

Details:
- Kind of water: tap water purified by a purification system (Milli-Q, Millipore)
- Sodium azide content: 0.0009% (w/v)
Details on test conditions:
TEST SYSTEM
- Sterilisation method: Each buffer was filter-sterilised through a 0.2 µm FP 30/0.2 CA-S filter (Whatman) and transferred into a sterile vessel.
- Measures to exclude oxygen: nitrogen gas was purged through the sterile buffers for 5 minutes prior to preparation of the blank and test solutions.
- Measures taken to avoid photolytic effects: the test vessels were kept in the dark.


TEST MEDIUM
- Identity and concentration of co-solvent: The spiking volume was < 1% of the sample volume. Nominal concentrations were not corrected for the spiking volume.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
At pH 4, 7 and pH 9, a degree of hydrolysis < 10% was observed after 5 days at 50°C (half-life time at 25°C is > 1 year). No further tests were required.
Test performance:
RECOVERIES
- Recovery is the concentration analysed at t=0 relative to the nominal concentration.
- The mean (n=2) recovery at each pH was calculated (see table below).
- The mean recoveries fell within the criterion range of 90-110%.
- Concentrations analysed in the test samples were not corrected for recovery.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The substance is hydrolytically stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 (half-life time at 25°C : > 1 year).
Executive summary:

The hydrolysis study at pH values normally found in the environment (pH 4, 7 and 9) was performed in a GLP-compliant study according to EC C.7, OECD 111 and EPA OPPTS 835.2120. A degree of < 10% of hydrolysis was observed at pH 4, 7 and 9 after 5 days at 50°C (Tier 1). This corresponds with a half-life time at 25°C of > 1 year. The substance is concluded to be hydrolytically stable at pH 4, 7 and 9.
