Preliminary study:
After 5 days (120 h) at 50 +/-0.5 °C the concentrations of the test item was about 100 % of the start concentrations at pH 4,7, and 9. Thus the test item can be considered to be hydrolytically stable.

TEST CONDITIONS
- pH, sterility, temperature, and other experimental conditions maintained throughout the study: Yes
- Anomalies or problems encountered (if yes):

MAJOR TRANSFORMATION PRODUCTS
at pH4:
- no transformation products observed, recovery 100 %
at pH7:
- no transformation products observed, recovery 100 %
at pH9:
- no transformation products observed, recovery 100 %
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
After 5 days (120 h) at 50 +/-0.5 °C the concentrations of the test item was about 100 % of the start concentrations at pH 4,7, and 9. Thus the test item can be considered to be hydrolytically stable.
Executive summary:

The hydrolysis of the test item was investigated in accordance with OECD Guideline 111 (Hydrolysis as a function of pH). After 5 days (120 h) at 50 +/-0.5 °C the concentrations of the test item was about 100 % of the start concentrations at pH 4,7, and 9. Thus the test item can be considered to be hydrolytically stable.

Details on sampling:
- Sampling method: 3 samples were taken for measurements at the beginning of the test and after 5 days
- Sampling intervals/times for sterility check: The buffered solutions of the test items were sterilised by filtration using sterile 0.2 filters. For each sampling time, fresh tubes were used to avoid microbial contamination and contact with oxygen.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: The solutions were stored at 50 +/- 0.5°C.
Buffers:
The buffer solutions were prepared on the basis of the recommended compositions of the annex of the OECD method (buffer solutions 7 and 9) resp. Küster et al. (buffer solution 4). All chemicals used were of analytical grade. The pH was measured with a pH-meter with an uncertainty of 0.01 units and pH was adjusted to the nominal pH value ± 0.02 units.

Buffer-Solution, pH 4
- CH3COOH, 2-m (160 mL)
- CH3COONa, 1-m (80 mL)
- Water (ad 2000 mL)

Buffer-Solution, pH 7
- KH2PO4 (17.4171 g)
- Water (500 mL)
- NaOH, 2-m (29.8 mL)
- Water (ad 2000 mL)

Buffer-Solution, pH 9
- H3BO3 (6.1863 g)
- KCl (7.4579 g)
- Water (1000 mL)
- NaOH, 2-m (21.5 mL)
- Water (ad 2000 mL)
Details on test conditions:
TEST SYSTEM
- Type, material and volume of test flasks, other equipment used: sterilised vials
- Sterilisation method: the solution of the buffered test solution was filtrated using sterilised 0.2 µm filters; all glassware was autoclaved before use.
- Measures taken to avoid photolytic effects: the tubes containing solutions were stored in an incubation chamber.
- Measures to exclude oxygen: sterilised vials were filled with the solutions and purged with oxygen-free argon. Fresh tubes were used for each for each sampling time to avoid microbial contamination and contact with oxygen.
- There was no indication of the test material adsorbing to the walls of the test.

TEST MEDIUM
- Preparation of test medium: the solution of the test item was mixed 1:1 with the appropriate buffer solution
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Oxygen was excluded by purging the vials with oxygen-free argon during preparation.

Description of key information

Based on the information available on source substance 1H-Benzotriazole, sodium benzotriazolate is considered to be hydrolytically stable under environmental conditions. Thus half-life in water was set to default value (OECD guideline 111).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life for hydrolysis:
365 d
at the temperature of:
20 °C
