Reference 4

Endpoint:

water solubility

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is hydrolytically unstable at pH 4, 7 and 9 (half-life less than 12 hours)

Justification for type of information:

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be conducted if the substance is hydrolitically unstable.

Description of key information

Weight of evidence. EPI-Suite WSKOW v1.42, accepted calculation method. The substance has a predicted solubility of 0.05929 mg/L in water at 25ºC, and the solubility of its main transformation product in water at 25ºC is 14.78 mg/L. Furthermore, during the development of an analytical method for the test item, its solubility in various aqueous media was found to be in the range < 0.25 to 1.28 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:

0.059 mg/L

at the temperature of:

25 °C

Additional information

Data waiving (study technically not feasible): In accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be conducted if the test cannot be performed: the substance is hydrolytically unstable. Therefore, solubility values were determined by calculation:

- The water solubility of the test item was determined by using EPI-Suite v.411, (WSKOW v1.42; US EPA). The estimated value at 25ºC was 0.05929 mg/L. This value is supported by the findings of an analytical method development study for this substance, where the measured test item values in various aquatic media by HPLC-UV were in the range < 0.25 - 1.28 mg/L.

- The water solubility of the test item's transformation product was determined by using EPI-Suite v.411, (WSKOW v1.42; US EPA). The estimated value at 25ºC was 14.78 mg/L.
