Preparation of Solutions
Stock and Spiking Solutions
Stock solutions of the test item were prepared in dichloromethane at concentrations of 1000
and 2000 mg/L. Spiking solutions of the test item were prepared in acetone at concentrations of 5000 mg/L.
Calibration Solutions
Six calibration solutions in the concentration range of 0.1 – 6 mg/L were prepared from two stock solutions. The end solution of the calibration solutions was dichloromethane.

Sample Injections
Calibration solutions were injected in duplicate. Test samples were analyzed by single
njection.

Calibration Curves
Calibration curves were constructed using six concentration levels. For each level, duplicate responses were used. Linear regression analysis was performed using the least squares method with a 1/concentration² weighting factor. The coefficient of correlation (r) was > 0.99 for each curve.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
At pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9, a degree of hydrolysis of ≥ 10% was observed after 5 days.
According to the guideline, the higher Tier test was required to determine the half-life time of the test item.
Small responses at the retention time of the test item were detected in a few chromatograms of the blank buffer solutions. It was considered to derive from the analytical system since similar responses were found in the analytical blanks. The maximum contribution to the samples was 0.010%. It was considered that it has no significant effect on the results of the test samples.
The mean recoveries of the test item containing buffer solutions at t=0 fell within the criterion range of 90-110%. It demonstrated that the analytical method was adequate to support the hydrolysis study on the test item.
Test performance:
The rate of hydrolysis of the test item as a function of pH was determined at pH values normally found in the environment (pH 4-9). The buffer solutions were filter-sterilised through a 0.2 μm FP 30/0.2 CA-S filter (Whatman,Dassel, Germany) and transferred into a sterile vessel. To exclude oxygen, nitrogen gas was purged through the solution for 5 minutes. The test item was spiked to the solutions at a target concentration of 50 mg/L using a spiking solution in acetone. For each sampling time, duplicate sterile vessels under vacuum were filled with 6 mL test solution and placed in the dark in a temperature controlled environment at 49.8°C +- 0.2°C.
The spiking volume was ≤ 1% of the sample volume. Nominal concentrations were not corrected for the spiking volume.
The concentration of the test item in the test samples was determined immediately after preparation (t=0) and after 2.4 hours and 5 days. The samples taken at t=2.4 hours and t=5 days were cooled to room temperature using running tap water. Analysis was performed on subsamples of 10 mL. The samples were extracted in a 5:1 (v:v)
ratio with dichloromethane. The shaking time was 30 seconds. The extracts were 100-fold
diluted with dichloromethane to obtain concentrations within the calibration range.
Blank buffer solutions containing a similar content of blank spiking solution were treated
similarly as the test samples and analyzed at t=0.
The pH of each of the test solutions (except for the blanks) was determined at each sampling
time. Test samples were prepared and treated similarly as during the preliminary test. The pH of each of the test solutions (except for the blanks) was determined at least at the beginning and at the end of the test. The study was performed at the following temperatures: 19.8°C +- 0.4°C; 39.9°C +-0.6°C; 49.9°C +- 0.1°C.
Transformation products:
not measured
Details on hydrolysis and appearance of transformation product(s):

Research to investigate the identity or nature and rates of formation and decline of hydrolysis products was not required since the studies were conducted according to the testing guidelines provided in Annex VIII (volume 10-100 tons/year).
