Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is highly insoluble in water

Justification for type of information:

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING (see supporting expert statement)
The feasibility of a hydrolysis study with the test item was assessed based on the performed tests, i.e. water solubility and analytics. As a consequence of the very low water solubility of the test item a solubility test was performed using different solvents to determine the appropriate solvent for the preparation of the stock solution and the sample solution. In a second step, the analytical behaviour of the test item was investigated in order to obtain an analytical method for the analysis of the sample solution with an appropriate sensitivity considering the potential amount of the test item in the aqueous test solution.
The results of the experiments indicated that reproducible analytical results could only be obtained in absence of water. This could be traced back either to the very low solubility or to the stability of the test item in water.
A study to investigate the hydrolytic properties of the test item cannot be performed. Regarding the estimated water solubility of  1.171*10exp(-8) mg/L (at 25°C) no analytical method with the appropriate sensitivity is available or could be developed. Moreover, it can be assumed that only a negligible portion of the test item will enter the aquatic environment as soluble substance and hence the impact on the aquatic environment was considered to be of low extent.
Hence, it can be concluded that hydrolysis testing is neither technically feasible nor required.

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: At 4°C ± 4°C , in the dark
- Safety Precautions: Routine safety and hygienic procedures

Radiolabelling:

no

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Validity criteria fulfilled:

not applicable

Conclusions:

Solubility and analytical investigations were performed in a scientifically reasonable and well documented manner in order to assess the possibility / feasibility to perform a hydrolysis study according to OECD 111 as stipulated under REACH for registrations > 10 tpa. The results of the experiments indicated that reproducible analytical results could only be obtained in absence of water. This could be traced back either to the very low solubility or to the stability of the test item in water.
A study to investigate the hydrolytic properties of the test item cannot be performed. Regarding the estimated water solubility of 1.171*10-8 mg/L (at 25°C) no analytical method with the appropriate sensitivity is available or could be developed. Moreover, it can be assumed that only a negligible portion of the test item will enter the aquatic environment as soluble substance and hence the impact on the aquatic environment was considered to be of low extent.
Hence, it can be concluded that hydrolysis testing is neither technically feasible nor required.

Executive summary:

The feasibility of a hydrolysis study with the test item was assessed based on the performed tests.

Preliminary study:

Result
In our experiments no suitable solvent system for studying the hydrolysis by in-situ NMR was found. Even at very low concentrations such as 0.033% (w/w) a precipitate was formed. Furthermore the sensitivity of the 31P-NMR measurement is not high enough to observe any resonances.
Our result is in good agreement with the statement in the product data sheet of the customer in which the product is described as insoluble in water.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

not applicable

Conclusions:

The present screening study was conducted in order to find acceptable solvent conditions in preparation for a hydrolysis study to be conducted under GLP. The study was well designed and sufficiently documented, so the results can be considered as sufficiently reliable to assess the feasibility of a hydrolysis study. No suitable solvent system for studying the hydrolysis by in-situ NMR was found. Even at very low concentrations such as 0.033% (w/w) a precipitate was formed. Furthermore the sensitivity of the 31P-NMR measurement is not high enough to observe any resonances. Hence, a hydrolysis study is not considered to be technically feasible.

Executive summary:

In preparation for a hydrolysis study to be conducted under GLP, a solvent screening to find acceptable solvent conditions was conducted. No suitable solvent system for monitoring the hydrolysis of 4,8-dicyclohexyl-6-hydroxy-2,10-dimethyl-12H-dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxaphosphocin was found. A hydrolysis study is not considered to be technically feasible.

Description of key information

Hydrolysis testing is neither technically feasible nor required. A study to investigate the hydrolytic properties of the test item cannot be performed. Regarding the estimated water solubility of  1.171*10exp(-8) mg/L (at 25°C) no analytical method with the appropriate sensitivity is available or could be developed. Moreover, it can be assumed that only a negligible portion of the test item will enter the aquatic environment as soluble substance and hence the impact on the aquatic environment was considered to be of low extent. Also, no suitable solvent for hydrolysis study (in situ NMR) of 4,8-dicyclohexyl-6-hydroxy-2,10-dimethyl-12H-dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxaphosphocin was found.
