Conclusions:
The partition coefficient (log Pow) of the test substance at 20 ºC was -3.0.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient test was carried out according to EU Method A 8 Shake-flask method.

The test substance concentrations in the aqueous (MilliQ) and organic (n-octanol) phases were determined by Ion Chromatography.

The partition coefficient (log Pow) of the test substance at 20 ºC was -3.0 with a standard deviation of 6.3%.
