The uncertainty of the prediction
(OECD principle 4)

According to REACH Guidance Document R.7a, Appendix R.7.1-1 (Nov. 2012), measurement of HLC is not highly accurate, especially for very high or very low HLC values. The bond contribution method regarded by Altschuh et al. (1999) to produce the most reliable results with the exception of organochlorine pesticides. However, for some compounds, the method can yield a Henry's Law constant of 1.0x10-12atm*m3/mol or smaller. Numbers which are smaller than this value may be unrealistically low.

3.5

The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result
(OECD principle 5)

The compound is split into a summation of individual bonds which comprise the compound. The summation of these bonds (= bond contribution values) is set equal to LWPAC. Correction factors were developed to correct for polar interactions and other deviations from the regression curve, which are applied to members of some chemical classes.

Executive summary:

Applicability Domain for Estimation of Henry’s Law Constant using Vapour Pressure (VP) and Water Solubility (WS)

The applicability domain for this method is determined based on the substance’s water solubility.

-    The method is not suitable for the prediction of HLC due to high water solubility of the substance: >= 1 mol/L (EPI Suite, 2012) and > 30% (g/100 g; Lyman, 1985).

-    For miscible compounds the method is not valid (ECHA, 2012:Appendix R.7.1-1, p. 162).

Description of key information

From the water surface the substance will not evaporate into the atmosphere.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

QSAR-disclaimer

 

In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met. Furthermore according to Article 25 of the same Regulation testing on vertebrate animals shall be undertaken only as a last resort.

 

According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.

 

For the assessment of N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)ethylenediamine (Q)SAR results were used for the estimation of the Henry’s Law constant. The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.

 

Therefore, further experimental studies on the Henry’s Law Constant are not provided. Assessment of the Henry's Law constant:

A weight-of-evidence approach was used to assess the evaporation of the substance from the water surface to the atmosphere. The Henry's Law constant (HLC) was calculated based on measured data for water solubility (1000 g/L; GESTIS database, 2011) and vapour pressure (1.95 mmHg@ 25 °C; BASF SE, 2013). The HLC was 4.5E-02 Pa*m³/mol (BASF SE, 2013). As the substance has a high water solubility and is miscible with water, the method is not valid for the estimation of the Henry's Law constant. Nevertheless, the low evaporation potential is confirmed by other estimated data. The bond estimation method gives a value of 1.66 E-11 Pa*m³/mol (HENRYWIN Program, v3.20; EPI Suite v4.10; BASF SE, 2013), but the substance is not within the applicability domain of the estimation model as the maximum number of instances of two bonds in the training sets compounds was exceeded. As the method itself was valid for this compound, the latter value was used for the risk assessment.

Based on the presented data, the substance will not evaporate from the water surface into the atmosphere.
