Key result

Remarks on result:

other: - The results from the preliminary Test / Tier 1 showed that it was unnecessary to undertake further testing at pH 4, 7 and 9.

Details on results:

- pH 4: Less than 10 % hydrolysis after 5 days at 50 °C (equivalent to a half-life greater than 1 year at 25 °C)
- pH 7: Less than 10 % hydrolysis after 5 days at 50 °C (equivalent to a half-life greater than 1 year at 25 °C)
- pH 9: Less than 10 % hydrolysis after 5 days at 50 °C (equivalent to a half-life greater than 1 year at 25 °C)

Validity criteria fulfilled:

not applicable

Conclusions:

The estimated half-life of the test item at 25 °C for pH 4, 7 and 9 has been shown to be greater than 1 year.

Executive summary:

Assessment of hydrolytic stability was carried out using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method C.7 Abiotic Degradation, Hydrolysis as a Function of pH of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 111 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.
