- Executive summary:
The partition coefficient (log Kow) of the test substance was measured under GLP according OECD 123 guideline, slow-stirring method.
A preliminary assay was conducted with a single vessel, to determine the equilibration time, which was reached from 24 hours. In the main test, three vessels were prepared, and five samples were taken in each phase after equilibration at 25°C, between 66 and 116 hours. The concentrations were measured in each phase with LC-MS/MS fully validated analysis method.
The overall average log Kow was calculated, weighted for the variance, to 5.52.
- Endpoint:

- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Justification for type of information:
- Based on structural similarity (the source substance is one of the constituents of the target substance, together with isomers), both substances are not expected to have significantly different partition coefficient. Therefore the result of the study is considered suitable for the target substance.
Further information is included in IUCLID Section 13. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source

- Conclusions:
- (from analogue) The substance has potential to bioaccumulate in the environment, according to CLP classification criteria for aquatic chronic toxicity (log Kow >4).
- Executive summary:
The partition coefficient (log Kow) of the analogue test substance was measured under GLP according OECD 123 guideline, slow-stirring method.
A preliminary assay was conducted with a single vessel, to determine the equilibration time, which was reached from 24 hours. In the main test, three vessels were prepared, and five samples were taken in each phase after equilibration at 25°C, between 66 and 116 hours. The concentrations were measured in each phase with LC-MS/MS fully validated analysis method.
The overall average log Kow was calculated, weighted for the variance, to 5.52.

Additional information
Three reliable studies, conducted according to recognized OECD/EC methods are available:
- The oldest (Safepharm 1994) was performed with the flask method, but provides only a limit value, sufficient for classification purpose, but not for ERA, and was therefore considered as supporting;
- (Firmenich 2006) was performed with the HPLC method, based on comparative elution versus standards; isomers were not differentiated;
- (Fraunhofer 2013) was not performed on the parent substance, but on an analogue, i.e. single isomer of the present multiconstituent, so the read-across was considered justified, in particular as isomers were not differentiated in the previous study. This study was conducted, under GLP, with the slow-stirring method, which is considered more accurate as based on actual phase partitioning and analysis (see IUCLID section 13 for justification).
Therefore the slow-stirring result is preferred and retained as key data, rather than the mean value.
