Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The study was performed according to the EU method A.8 without deviations and therefore considered to be of the highest quality (reliability Klimisch 1).The validity criteria are fulfilled. The partition coefficient of the test material has been determined to be 5.17 at 20.5 ± 0.5°C, log10 Pow 0.714.
Executive summary:

The test item was subjected to a shake-flask method test (GLP, 2001) to determine its partition coefficient. At approximately neutral pH a logPow of 0.714 (partition coefficient 5.17 at 20.5 ± 0.5°C) was identified.
