Validation

Organic phases: The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the concentration range of 0 to 102 mg/L. This was satisfactory with a correlation coefficient (r2) of 1.000 being obtained.

 

Aqueous phases: The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the concentration range of 0 to 22 mg/L. This was satisfactory with a correlation coefficient (r2) of 1.000 being obtained.

 

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be 172 at 22.8 ± 1.0 °C, log10 Pow 2.23.
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using the shake-flask method, designed to be compatible with Method A8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 107 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.

A preliminary assessment of the partition coefficient was calculated based on fragment constant methodology using KOWWIN v1.67a (Sept 2008) © 2000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency based on information on the test item provided by the Sponsor.

 

The calculation method is based on the theoretical fragmentation of the molecule into substructures for which reliable log Powincrements are known. The log Powis obtained by summing the fragment values and the correction terms for intramolecular interactions.

To conclude the partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be 172 at 22.8±1.0°C,
