4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
See attached QMRF
- Defined endpoint: Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) and Bioaccumulation Factor (BAF).
- Unambiguous algorithm: BCFBAF v3.01 contains two methods for estimating BCFs. The first BCFBAF method is based on the original BCFWIN model and classifies a compound as either ionic or non-ionic. Ionic compounds include carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids and salts of sulfonic acids, and charged nitrogen compounds (nitrogen with a +5 valence such as quaternary ammonium compounds). All other compounds are classified as non-ionic. The second model for BCF estimation has been expanded to calculate both BCF as well as BAF for three general trophic levels of fish. This method is based on the multiple-linear regression-derived equation which is used by the BCFBAF program to estimate the kM Biotransformation Half-Life.
- Defined domain of applicability: The estimation domain for BCF is based on the number of instances given for each correction factor in any of the training set compounds, and the minimum and maximum values for molecular weight and log Kow.
- Appropriate measures of goodness-of-fit and robustness and predictivity: The following gives statistical information for the BCF training and validation datasets (includes ionic and non-ionic compounds). Number = 527 / r² = 0.833 / std deviation = 0.502 / avg deviation = 0.382. For the BCF validation dataset; Number = 158 / r² = 0.82 / std deviation = 0.59 / avg deviation = 0.46. Arnot-Gobas BCF and BAF statistics for the kM biotransformation half-life of the training dataset are; Number = 421 / r² = 0.821 / std deviation = 0.494 / avg deviation = 0.383. For the kM validation dataset; Number = 211 / r² = 0.734 / std deviation = 0.602 / avg deviation = 0.446.

- Conclusions:
- A study was performed on the major transformation product (C6 isomers: one at 96% and the second at 3%) of the registered substance, by the Institute of Ecotoxicology, Japan in 2013. The study followed the latest OECD 305 Guideline (2012) and was conducted using the test substance dissolved in water at two sub-lethal concentrations for a period of 28 days. The authors considered that steady date was reached on day 28 although there was evidence that steady-state had already occurred by day 7 of the study. In both concentrations extremely low BCFs were determined (11 -25 with a mean of 15 at the highest water concentration of approximately 0.07 mg/L based on the major isomer and <21 -<35 [LOD] at the lowest water concentration of approximately 0.007 mg/L based on the major isomer). Results from the second isomer was almost identical. This study conclusively demonstrated that the major breakdown product of the registered substance will not bioaccumulate to any significant degree in aquatic organisms.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed on the major transformation product (C6 isomers: one at 96% and the second at 3%) of the registered substance, by the Institute of Ecotoxicology, Japan in 2013. The study followed the latest OECD 305 Guideline (2012) using carp (Cyprinus carpio) of approximately 7 -8 cm in length. and was conducted using the test substance Dissolved in water at two sub-lethal concentrations for a period of 28 days in a flow-through system. Physicochemical paramenters (oxygen concentration, pH and temperature) were measured throughout the study at each sampling date and found to be well within acceptable limits and extrememly stable throughout the study. The authors considered that the fish reached steady date on day 28 although there was evidence that steady-state had already occurred by day 7 of the study thus no depuration phase was necessary. In both concentrations extremely low BCFs were determined (11 -25 with a mean of 15 at the highest water concentration of approximately 0.07 mg/L based on the major isomer and <21 -<35 [LOD] at the lowest water concentration of approximately 0.007 mg/L based on the major isomer).

- The BCF for the major isomers of the transformation product (C6) of the registered substance is estimated to be 334 L/Kg wet-wt based on the log Kow value and 414 L/kg wet-wt based on Arnot-Gobas method (lower trophic, including biotransformation rate estimates).
- Executive summary:
The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of the major isomers of the transformation product (C6) of the registered substance was evaluated with BCFBAF model v3.01 from EPI Suite v4.1, which fulfilled all OECD principles. This substance is within the domain of the BCFBAF model based on the molecular weight and fragments present in the BCFBAF database.
It's more relevant to consider the result obtain with Arnot-Gobas Method, including biotransformation rate estimates instead of the result obtain with Arnot-Gobas Method, assuming a biotransformation rate of zero. The BCF is estimated to be 334 L/Kg wet-wt based on the log Kow value and 414 L/kg wet-wt based on Arnot-Gobas method (lower trophic, including biotransformation rate estimates).

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
See attached QMRF
- Defined endpoint: Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) and Bioaccumulation Factor (BAF).
- Unambiguous algorithm: BCFBAF v3.01 contains two methods for estimating BCFs. The first BCFBAF method is based on the original BCFWIN model and classifies a compound as either ionic or non-ionic. Ionic compounds include carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids and salts of sulfonic acids, and charged nitrogen compounds (nitrogen with a +5 valence such as quaternary ammonium compounds). All other compounds are classified as non-ionic. The second model for BCF estimation has been expanded to calculate both BCF as well as BAF for three general trophic levels of fish. This method is based on the multiple-linear regression-derived equation which is used by the BCFBAF program to estimate the kM Biotransformation Half-Life.
- Defined domain of applicability: The estimation domain for BCF is based on the number of instances given for each correction factor in any of the training set compounds, and the minimum and maximum values for molecular weight and log Kow.
- Appropriate measures of goodness-of-fit and robustness and predictivity: The following gives statistical information for the BCF training and validation datasets (includes ionic and non-ionic compounds). Number = 527 / r² = 0.833 / std deviation = 0.502 / avg deviation = 0.382. For the BCF validation dataset; Number = 158 / r² = 0.82 / std deviation = 0.59 / avg deviation = 0.46. Arnot-Gobas BCF and BAF statistics for the kM biotransformation half-life of the training dataset are; Number = 421 / r² = 0.821 / std deviation = 0.494 / avg deviation = 0.383. For the kM validation dataset; Number = 211 / r² = 0.734 / std deviation = 0.602 / avg deviation = 0.446.

Description of key information
Constituent approach:
- Registered substance (parent): QSAR predictions, BCF comprised between 382 and 435 L/kg.
- Transformation product: Experimental GLP-OECD Guideline 305 study on C6 isomers and QSAR predictions on C6 and C7 isomers. BCF lower than 500 L/kg. The breakdown product of the registered substance will not bioaccumulate to any significant degree in aquatic organisms.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 435 L/kg ww
Additional information
One experimental study was performed on the major isomers of the transformation product of the registered substance, by the Institute of Ecotoxicology in Japan in 2013. This study was performed in the context of the notification of the registered substance in Japan in 2014, under the New Chemical Substances Control Law. This study followed the latest OECD 305 Guideline (2012) and was conducted using C6 isomers of the transformation product dissolved in water at two sub-lethal concentrations for a period of 28 days. The authors considered that steady state was reached on day 28 although there was evidence that steady-state may have already occurred by day 7 of the study. In both concentrations extremely low BCFs were determined (11 -25 with a mean of 15 at the highest water concentration of approximately 0.07 mg/L based on the major isomer and <21 -<35 [LOD] at the lowest water concentration of approximately 0.007 mg/L based on the major isomer). Results from the second isomer was almost identical. This study conclusively demonstrated that the major breakdown product of the registered substance will not bioaccumulate to any significant degree in aquatic organisms.
This result was supported by QSAR predictions. The bioconcentration factors (BCF) of the registered substance and its transformation product (C6 and C7 isomers) were evaluated with BCFBAF model v3.01 from EPI Suite v4.1, which fulfilled all OECD principles. These substances are within the domain of the BCFBAF model based on the molecular weights and fragments present in the BCFBAF database.
For Arnot-Gobas Method, it's more relevant to consider the result obtain including biotransformation rate estimates instead of the result assuming a biotransformation rate of zero.
For the C6 isomers of the registered substance, the BCF is estimated at 382 L/kg wet-wt, corresponding to the mean of the BCF based on the log Kow value (568.7 L/kg wet-wt) and the BCF based on Arnot-Gobas method (196.2 L/kg wet-wt, lower trophic including biotransformation rate estimates).
For the C7 isomer of the registered substance, the BCF is estimated at 435 L/kg wet-wt, corresponding to the mean of the BCF based on the log Kow value (568.7 L/kg wet-wt) and the BCF based on Arnot-Gobas method (300.3 L/kg wet-wt, lower trophic including biotransformation rate estimates).
For the C6 isomers of the transformation product, the BCF is estimated at 374 L/kg wet-wt, corresponding to the mean of the BCF based on the log Kow value (334.1 L/kg wet-wt) and the BCF based on Arnot-Gobas method (413.8 L/kg wet-wt, lower trophic including biotransformation rate estimates).
For the C7 isomer of the transformation product, the BCF is estimated at 490 L/kg wet-wt, corresponding to the mean of the BCF based on the log Kow value (372 L/kg wet-wt) and the BCF based on Arnot-Gobas method (607 L/kg wet-wt, lower trophic including biotransformation rate estimates).
As the QSAR estimate for the C6 isomer of the transformation product is higher than the experimental value, the QSARs can considered to be a conservative estimate of the BCF for the registered substance and its degradation products.
