Preferably the partition coefficient of the test item is pre-estimated by using a calculation method (e.g. EPI Suite). Log Po* values in the range -2 to 4 (occasionally up to 5 and more) can be experimentally determined by the shake-flask method (OECD test guideline 107). The HPLC method covers log Po* in the range of 0 to 6. The mentioned methods are not applicable for test items, which show a log Po* below -2 or are othenruise unsuitable e.g. complex mixtures, high surface activity or insoluble in water or in n-octanol. Partition coefficients of such test items can be

estimated based on the ratio of their water solubility (according to OECD 105) and their octanol solubility (based on the principle of OECD 105).

The partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item was determined to be logPow >6.5.

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item was determined via extrapolation to be log Pow 10.7
Executive summary:

A study was conducted in accordance with OECD TG 117 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.8 to determine the partition coefficient of the test substance using the HPLC method. The linear regression parameters of the relationship log Pow = f(log k) were also calculated from the data obtained with the calibration mixture and, therewith, log Pow of the test substance was determined from its measured capacity factor. The partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item was determined via extrapolation to be log Pow 10.7.
