Details on results:
- The average 1-octanol/water partition coefficient expressed as the log POW value of the test item determined at a temperature of 25.0 °C was 4.994 in combination with a standard error σlog POW,Av of 0.018:
log POW,Av = 4.994 ± 0.018
- The 1-octanol/water partition coefficient POW was estimated to log POW = 5.39; the deviation of the determined from this estimated value were thus -0.40.

The state of equilibrium was also checked. The weighted average log Pow was calculated to be 4.994, with a weighted standard error of 0.018.

Conclusions:
The substance has potential to bioaccumulate in the environment, according to CLP classification criteria for aquatic chronic toxicity (log Kow > 4).
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient (log Pow) of the test substance was measured under GLP according OECD 123 guideline, slow-stirring method.

A preliminary assay was conducted with a single vessel, to determine the equilibration time, which was reached from two days. In the main test, three vessels were prepared, and four samples were taken in each phase after equilibration at 25 °C, between 47 and 89 hours. The concentrations were measured in each phase with LC-MS/MS fully validated analysis method.

The overall average log Kow was calculated, weighted for the variance, to 4.99 (at 25°C).

Additional information

Three reliable studies, conducted according to recognized OECD/EC methods and under GLP, are available, and provide consistent results. Two (Safepharm 2008 and Firmenich 2009) were performed with the HPLC method, based on comparative elution versus standards, the choice of which leading to restrictions on accuracy. The more recent one (Fraunhofer 2012) was performed with the slow-stirring method, which is considered of higher quality, as based on actual phase partitioning and analysis. Therefore the slow-stirring result is prefered and retained as key data for purpose of CSA, rather than the mean value.
