Endpoint:

Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
Episuite and the KOCWIN models are well documented and commonly used QSARs for predicting the sorption potential of chemicals. Substances within LOA fall within the applicability domain of these models and they have been recommended by ECHA in the Information Requirement Guidelines.
Qualifier:
no guideline required
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The Soil Adsorption Coefficient Program (KOCWIN) estimates the soil adsorption coeffiecient (Koc) of organic compounds. Koc can be defined as "the ratio of the amount of chemical adsorbed per unit weight of organic carbon (oc) in the soil or sediment to the concentration of the chemical in solution at equilibrium"; it is represented by the following equation:

 Koc =  (ug adsorbed/g organic carbon) / (ug/mL solution)

The units of Koc are typically expressed as either L/kg or mL/g.

Estimated values of Koc are often used in environmental fate assessment because measurement of Koc is expensive. Traditional estimation methods rely upon the octanol/water partition coefficient or related parameters, but the first-order molecular connectivity index (MCI) has been used successfully to predict Koc values for hydrophobic organic compounds (Sabljic, 1984, 1987; Bahnick and Doucette, 1988).

Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
Episuite and the KOCWIN models are well documented and commonly used QSARs for predicting the sorption potential of chemicals. Substances within LOA fall within the applicability domain of these models and they have been recommended by ECHA in the Information Requirement Guidelines.
Qualifier:
no guideline required
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The Soil Adsorption Coefficient Program (KOCWIN) estimates the soil adsorption coeffiecient (Koc) of organic compounds. Koc can be defined as "the ratio of the amount of chemical adsorbed per unit weight of organic carbon (oc) in the soil or sediment to the concentration of the chemical in solution at equilibrium"; it is represented by the following equation:

 Koc =  (ug adsorbed/g organic carbon) / (ug/mL solution)

The units of Koc are typically expressed as either L/kg or mL/g.

Estimated values of Koc are often used in environmental fate assessment because measurement of Koc is expensive. Traditional estimation methods rely upon the octanol/water partition coefficient or related parameters, but the first-order molecular connectivity index (MCI) has been used successfully to predict Koc values for hydrophobic organic compounds (Sabljic, 1984, 1987; Bahnick and Doucette, 1988).

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The Risk Assessment Report is the result of in-depth work carried out by experts in one Member State, working in co-operation with their counterparts in the other Member States, the Commission Services, Industry and public interest groups. The Risk Assessment was carried out in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) 793/931 on the evaluation and control of the risks of “existing” substances. The methods for carrying out an in-depth Risk Assessment at Community level are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) 1488/942, which is supported by a technical guidance document. Normally, the “Rapporteur” and individual companies producing, importing and/or using the chemicals work closely together to develop a draft Risk Assessment Report, which is then presented at a Meeting of Member State technical experts for endorsement. The Risk Assessment Report is then peer-reviewed by the Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (CSTEE) which gives its opinion to the European Commission on the quality of the risk assessment.
