Buffers:
pH 4: 0,4 ml 0,1 M NaOH + 500 ml 0,1 M potassium hydrogen phthalate to 1000 ml
pH 7: 296,3 ml 0,1 M NaOH + 500 ml 0,1 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate to 1000 ml
pH 9: 0,1 M sodium tetraborate
Details on test conditions:
All solutions of the test substance in the respective buffer were prepared with a concentration of 0,720 g/l.

All tests were carried out using a constant temperature bath set at the chosen temperature. The temperature was kept within a range of +- 0,5 °C. This was proven by using a temperature recorder.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
The preliminary test was performed at 50 °C. pH values were controlled after addition of the test substance. Further testing is not neccessary, if there is more than 50 % after 2,4 h or less than 10 % after five days hydrolysed.
