Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
1. SOFTWARE
Estimation Programs Interface (EPI) Suite for Microsoft Windows, v4.11 (US EPA, 2012)

2. MODEL (incl. version number)
KOCWIN v2.00

3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL
- CC(=O)C=Cc1ccccc1
- See also section 'Test Material'.

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
See attached QMRF.

5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
See attached QPRF.

6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT
- The model is scientifically valid (see attached QMRF).
- The model estimates the KOC for the uncharged molecule; screening information on adsorption (and desorption) is required for substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 10 t/y or more (see also attached QPRF).
- See attached QPRF for reliability assessment.
Guideline:
other: ECHA Guidance R.6
Principles of method if other than guideline:
KOCWIN program (v4.10): scientifically accepted calculation method for soil adsorption estimation of organic chemicals. Two different models are used for this estimation: the Sabljic Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI) method as well as the so-called traditional method, which is based on the LogPow.

Computational methods:
Using the computer tool KOCWIN v2.00 by US-EPA (EPIWIN) the organic-normalized sorption coefficient for soil (soil adsorption, Koc) can be estimated. The following two different models are used: Salbjic molecular connectivity method (MCI) and the traditional method, which is based on the logPow value of the substance. In general, the MCI method is taken more seriously into account, due to the fact that it includes improved correction factors.

Conclusions:
The Koc of the substance benzalacetone was calculated to be 184.4 L/kg using the MCI method of KOCWIN program (v4.10), whereby the traditional method reveals a value of 168.8 L/kg. In general, the MCI method is taken more seriously into account, due to the fact that it includes improved correction factors.
Executive summary:

The prediction for soil adsorption property of the substance benzalacetone was determined by the computer program KOCWIN v2.00 (EPIWIN v4.1) by US-EPA. The program estimates the organic-normalized sorption coefficient for soil, which is designated as Koc. The following two models are used: the Salbjic molecular connectivity (MCI) method as well as the traditional method which is based on the logPow value of the substance. The MCI method is taken more seriously into account, due to the fact that is includes improved correction factors, which resulted in a Koc value of 184.4 L/kg. The traditional method gives a value of 168.8 L/kg.
