- Details on sampling:
- Samples to check concentration and pH were taken at 0 hours, 2.4 hours and 5 days.
- Buffers:
- Acetate buffer pH 4, 0.1 M: Solution of 16.7% 0.1 M sodium acetate in water and 83.3% 0.1 M acetic acid in water. Buffer contained 0.0009% (w/v) sodium azide.
Phosphate buffer pH 7, 0.1 M: Solution of 0.1 M potassium di-hydrogen-phosphate in water adjusted to pH 7 using 10N sodium hydroxide. Buffer contained 0.0009% (w/v) sodium azide.
Borate buffer pH 9, 0.1 M: Solution of 0.1 M boric acid in water and 0.1 M potassium chloride in water adjusted to pH 9 using 10N sodium hydroxide. Buffer contained 0.0009% (w/v) sodium azide.
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. - Details on test conditions:
- Preliminary Test - Tier 1
The test item was spiked to the solutions at a target concentration of 2 mg/L using a spiking solution in acetonitrile. 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 50.0°C ± 0.1°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 750 µL. The samples and blank buffer solutions were diluted in a 3:1 (v:v) ratio with acetonitrile and analyzed.
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. - Duration:

The analytical results of the preliminary test are given in Table 10 and Table 11.
At pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9, a degree of hydrolysis of < 10% was observed after 5 days. It demonstrated that the half-life time of the test item at 25°C is > 1 year. According to the guideline, no further tests were required.
No test item was detected in the blank buffer solutions.
The mean recoveries of the 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. - Transformation products:

- Conclusions:
- The preliminary test (Tier 1) performed for the determination of the rate of hydrolysis of 4-Hydroxy-benzophenone at pH values normally found in the environment (pH 4-9). At each pH value a degree of hydrolysis of < 10% was observed after 5 days. According to the guideline, performance of the main study (Tier 2) was not required.
- Executive summary:
In this guideline (OECD 111) study conducted with GLP certification, the test material (EC 214-507-1) was determined to be hydrolytically stable.
