Reference
Endpoint:
hydrolysis
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 111 (Hydrolysis as a Function of pH)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method C.7 (Degradation: Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Radiolabelling:
no
Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
Before and after incubation at 50 °C, 20 μL aliquots of the test solutions at each pH value were analysed without dilution by measuring the UV/VIS signal of the test substance after HPLC separation of the injected sample solution.
Buffers:
- pH: 4.0, 7.0, 9.0
Duration:
5 d
Temp.:
50 °C
Number of replicates:
Two aliquots of each test solution of approximately 50 mL each were transferred into 50 mL Erlenmeyer flasks in order to perform a duplicate test.
Transformation products:
not measured
Details on hydrolysis and appearance of transformation product(s):
The results of pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0 showed no significant degradation of the test substance at 50 ºC. The degradation of the test substance was less than 10% after 5 days. According to the EEC Directive 92/69, Section C.7, it can be concluded, that the estimated half-life time is higher than one year under representative environmental conditions (25 ºC). Therefore, the test substance was considered to be hydrolytically stable, and no further testing was necessary.
Key result
Temp.:
50 °C
DT50:
> 1 yr
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The test substance is considered to be hydrolytically stable.
Executive summary:

The hydrolysis determination of the test substance at different pH values was based on the OECD Guideline No. 111, “Hydrolysis as a Function of pH”; adopted April 13, 2004 and on the EEC Directive 92/69, Section C.7, “Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH”, L383 A, December 1992. The results of pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0 showed no significant degradation of the test substance at 50 °C. The degradation of the test substance was less than 10% after 5 days. According to the EEC Directive 92/69, Section C.7 it can be concluded, that the estimated halflife time is higher than one year under representative environmental conditions (25 °C). Therefore, the test substance is considered to be hydrolytically stable, and no further testing is necessary.
