Data waiving:

Justification for data waiving:
other:
Justification for type of information:
The substance is a complex mixture, which contain a large number of constituents with different solubility (often low solubility) and volatility. In addition, the composition of this complex substance is mostly unknown and its physical state leads to further difficulties for physico-chemical testing: It is described as dark green/brown very viscous pasty liquid. Standard tests for partition coefficient endpoint are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for such complex substances.
A feasibility study has been conducted on other natural complex substances in order to determine the more suitable standard method to determine the partition coefficient range of the test item. The two first approaches, based on the application of the OECD 117 method, were not applicable due to the very low response of the test item with the HPLC detectors tested (Diode Array Detector and Mass Spectrometry). The third strategy based on the application of the OECD 123 method and the quantification of the test item in both octanol and water phases by a GC-FID analytical method did not allow to detect the totality of the test item constituents.
Finally the application of the conventional Log Pow determination methods is limited due to the limited knowledge of composition of the test item.

Conclusions:
Log Kow = 6.3 (estimated by QSAR)
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test substance was estimated using the recommended QSAR model KOWWIN v1.68, based on Atom/Fragment Contribution (AFC) method. The substance is within the applicability domain (MW, descriptors).

The calculated result is log Kow = 6.3, with a standard deviation provided by the model of 0.48.

Description of key information

No range of logKow representative of the test item can be determined (neither with an experimental approach nor with an estimation approach)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The application of the standards Log Pow determination methods is limited due to the limited knowledge of composition of the test item and considering that only a limited part of the substance can be detected and quantifiable using the conventional methods of analysis.

For that reason, performing the test would lead to the determination of a limited part of the substance and would be not representative of the substance. Therefore the test, which cannot provide information on the whole substance, was considered as not feasible and the endpoint was waived.

However, literature values or calculated estimations were provided on known constituents of the substance. The logKow of these known constituents are between 1.39 and 6.3.

This range represent a limited part of the composition of the substance (<65%) and is not representative of the substance. Therefore this range has to be consider with caution.
