Details on results:
According to the guideline, the data of the fractions 1 to 5 were not taken into account for the following evaluation. The values, for the water solubility have to be calculated from at least 5 fractions; therefore in the presented study they were determined from the fractions 11 to 20 for both columns. Results for fractions 6 to 10 are reported for information only. Fraction 21 and all following fractions were discarded without, determination of any parameter.

Result run 1: Evaluation of the fractions 11 to 20. The water solubility was found to be less than 0.005 mg/L.
Result run 2: Evaluation of the fractions 11 to 20. The water solubility was found to be less than 0.005 mg/L.

Conclusions:
The water solubility of the test item was determined to be below 0.005 mg/L at 20°C and pH 7.15
Executive summary:

The water solubility was determined according to OECD 105 using the column elution method with HPLC analysis. In a preliminary test increasing water amounts were added to about 10 mg of the test substance and treated with ultra sound for 30 minutes. Even in a total volume of 1000 mL undissolved particles was observed. Thus the water solubility of the test substance was less than 10 mg/L and had to be determined using the column elution method. 0.1049 g of the test substance were dissolved in 25 mL acetonitrile. 10 mL of this solution were added to about 3 g of sea-shore sand and the mixture was shaken. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator. Two identical samples were prepared; one of them was exposed to a flow rate of 12.5 mL/h, the other one to 25 mL/h. After measurement of volume, pH and temperature, the selected fractions were directly subjected to HPLC analysis. The water solubility of the test substance at a temperature of 20°C was determined (average over both runs, fractions 11 to 20) to be below 0.005 mg/L.
