Two individual log POW values for the test item were derived under consideration of the first and second calibration. Finally, a mean value was calculated from these individual log POW values. Based on these data a log POW of 2.47 for the test item was determined.

The mean temperature of 23.8 °C was inside the ranges of 20 -25°C±1°C during the course of the study.

The HPLC void time (to) was determined by threefold injection of a solution of 5 mg/L NaNO3.
