 Validation

The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the nominal concentration range of 0 to 1.00 x 103 mg/l for each matrix. These were satisfactory with correlation coefficients of ≥ 0.999 being obtained.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The estimated half-lives at 25°C of the test material at pH 4, pH7 and pH9 was shown to be >1 year.
Executive summary:

Assessment of hydrolytic stability was carried out using Method C7 Abiotic Degradation, Hydrolysis as a Function of pH of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

The results are as follows:
