Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Study period:
1997-10-15 - 1997-11-06
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP guideline study (OECD test guideline 106)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 106 (Adsorption - Desorption Using a Batch Equilibrium Method)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
batch equilibrium method
Media:
other: Calcium Chloride Matrix
Radiolabelling:
no
Executive summary:

Based on the experiments and analysis of the test item performed and due to an analytical method detection limit equal to 0.050 mg/L it is concluded that a reliable method is not available in the 0.010 mg/L range for the test item as required in the 106 OECD guideline. In addition, the 106 OECD guideline indicates that the Adsorption/Desorption study must be performed at one half water solubility. It was determined from a reported water solubility value of less than 0.040 mg/L that the Adsorption/Desorption study would have to be conducted at 0.020 mg/L, which is below the analytical detection limit of 0.050 mg/L. Therefore, an Adsorption/Desorption study following OECD Guideline 106 would not be applicable for the test item. Based on the analytical methodology presented and the results demonstrating a water solubility at less than 0.040 mg/L, a waiver for the Adsorption/Desorption study is appropriate to fulfill regulatory requirements. In addition, the OECD TG 106 indicates thta the study must be performed at one half of the water solubility which is determined to be < 0.040 mg/L. Meaning that the study would have to be conducted at 0.020 mg/L which is far below the LOD of 0.050 mg/L.

Description of key information

In accordance with Regulation 1907/2006 (EC) Annex XI, paragraph 2
adsorption/desorption study was not conducted as the study is
technically not feasible. Based on the experiments and analysis of the
test item performed and due to an analytical method detection limit equal to 0.050 mg/L it is
concluded that a reliable method is not available in the 0.010 mg/L range
for the test item as required in the 106 OECD guideline. In addition,
the 106 OECD guideline indicates that the Adsorption/Desorption study
must be performed at one half water solubility.
It was determined from a reported water solubility value of
less than 0.040 mg/L that the Adsorption/Desorption study would have to be
conducted at 0.020 mg/L, which is below the analytical detection limit of
0.050 mg/L. Therefore, an Adsorption/Desorption study following OECD
Guideline 106 would not be applicable for the test item.
Based on the analytical methodology presented and the results demonstrating
a water solubility at less than 0.040 mg/L, a waiver for the
Adsorption/Desorption study is appropriate to fulfill regulatory requirements.
