Validation

The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the nominal concentration range of 0 to 40 mg/l for the organic matrix and 0 to 400 mg/L for the aqueous matrix. These were satisfactory with a correlation coefficient of 1.000 being obtained for both.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test material has been determined to be 4.32E-002 at 22.1 ± 0.5°C, this corresponds to a log10 Pow of -1.36.
