Validation

The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the nominal concentration range of 0 to 500 mg/l. This was satisfactory with a correlation coefficient of 1.000 being obtained.

 Discussion

No significant peaks were observed at the approximate retention time of the test material on analysis of any matrix blank solutions and it was considered not necessary to do a blank subtraction from the standard and sample chromatograms.

Additionally, one example for each pH of the diluted 120 hour timepoint samples and 120 hour timepoint analysis standards was further diluted by a factor of 50 with reverse osmosis water. These were scanned in 10 mm quartz cells on a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 20 from 200 nm to 900nm using reverse osmosis water as the reference. There was no significant difference between applicable standard and sample where the test material adsorbed in the visible spectrum range with respect to both wavelength and intensity. This provides extra evidence that the test material did not hydrolyse under the test conditions. Any significant hydrolysis would probably have altered the adsorption characteristics (wavelength and/or intensity) of the test material.

As the test material was determined to be hydrolytically stable under acidic conditions (t_½ > 1 year at 25°C) no additional testing was performed at pH 1.2, 37.0 ± 0.5°C.
