- Executive summary:
EU Method C.7. – The hydrolysis of the test item as a function of pH was determined using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method C.7., Degradation - Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH, of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
At three pHs, standard solutions of test item were prepared using sterilised citrate (pH 4), phosphate (pH 7) and borate (pH 9) buffer solutions (all 0.05 M). Under an inert (argon) atmosphere, aliquots of each solution were transferred into 6 mL vials and sealed. Two vials were prepared for each pH and each sampling point (t0 h and t120 h). Samples taken at t0 were stored deep frozen (≤ - 18 °C) until the sampling date after 5 days. The test item concentration of these samples was determined using HPLC-UV and a method validated according to guideline SANCO/3029/99 rev. 4.
The hydrolysis of the test item was negligible (< 10 %) at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9. Therefore, the half-life of test item was estimated to be longer than one year at 25 °C.
Reference
Preliminary Test (Tier 1):
The time courses of the test item concentration at 50 °C and three different pH values were determined. The determined temperatures during the entire period of the test were in the range of 50.0 °C ± 0.5 °C. Two samples were taken at each pH and each sampling date.
Samples were taken at the beginning of the test and after 120 hours at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9. The concentrations in buffer solutions were determined by HPLC-UV analysis. At pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9 less than 10 % of the test item were hydrolysed within 120 hours at 50 °C.
