Details on test conditions:
TEST SYSTEM
- Type, material and volume of test flasks, other equipment used: 10 mL glass crimp-top vials closed using crimp caps with Teflon-faced septa. The vials were kept in a temperature-controlled (50°C), covered water bath.
- Sterilisation method: Steam pressure sterilization
- Lighting: Dark conditions
- Is there any indication of the test material adsorbing to the walls of the test apparatus? None

TEST MEDIUM
- Volume used/treatment: 5 mL
- Kind and purity of water: Milli-Q
- Preparation of test medium: The radiolabelled test item was applied to sterile aqueous buffers. The vials were filled with 5 mL buffer solution ( = buffer plus application solution) and were closed in 10 mL crimp top vials under sterile conditions (cleaning-bench).
- Identity and concentration of co-solvent: Acetonitrile, 0.1%
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Test item concentration: 1 mL
- pH: The pH of the test solutions were constant to the setup values within <= 0.1 pH units during the test.


Duration:
7 d
Temp.:

Initial conc. measured:
1 mg/L
Number of replicates:
2
Statistical methods:
Arithmetic means were used in case of all LS measurements.
No rejection criteria were used.
Preliminary study:
The above described method applies to the preliminary study. As no hydrolytic degradation occurred at 50°C in this preliminary study, the tests with the second label and at 25°C and 20°C have been omitted. The test substance is hydrolytically stable under acidic, neutral and alkaline conditions at 50°C. According to the OECD Test Guideline 111, the DT50 is > 1 year at 25°C.
Transformation products:
no
pH:
4
Temp.:
25 °C
DT50:
> 1 yr
Remarks on result:
other: As no hydrolytic degradation was observed after 7 days, the DT50 is > 1 year according to OECD 111.
pH:
7
Temp.:
25 °C
DT50:
> 1 yr
Remarks on result:
other: As no hydrolytic degradation was observed after 7 days, the DT50 is > 1 year according to OECD 111.
pH:
9
Temp.:
25 °C
DT50:
> 1 yr
Remarks on result:
other: As no hydrolytic degradation was observed after 7 days, the DT50 is > 1 year according to OECD 111.
Details on results:
As no hydrolytic degradation occurred at 50°C in this preliminary study, the tests with the second label and at 25°C and 20°C have been omitted. The test substance is hydrolytically stable under acidic, neutral and alkaline conditions at 50°C. According to the OECD Test Guideline 111, the DT50 is > 1 year at 25°C.

The total radiocarbon recovery ranged from 92.8% to 107.5% of the applied amount. The complete material balances found in all solutions demonstrated that no RA dissipated from the solutions by means of volatilization or was lost during sampling/processing.

Description of key information

The substance is hydrolytically stable under environmental conditions (25 °C, pH 7) (DT50 > 1 year).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life for hydrolysis:
1 yr
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

One GLP guideline study on the hydrolytic degradation according to OECD Guideline 111 is available (Sneikus, 2007).

As no significant hydrolytic degradation occurred at 50°C in the preliminary study in sterile buffered solutions at pH 4, 7 and 9 during 7 days, the main test at 25°C and the test at 20°C have been omitted. The test substance is hydrolytically stable under acidic, neutral and alkaline conditions at 50°C. According to the OECD Test Guideline 111, the DT50 is > 1 year at 25°C. No transformation products were identified.
