Details on study design: HPLC method:
EQUIPMENT
- Apparatus: pump: Jasco PU980
- Type, material and dimension of analytical (guard) column: Zorbax CN, 25x0.46 cm
- Detection system: Jasco UV-975 set to 220 nm

MOBILE PHASES
- Type: Methanol-water, 55:45
- flow rate: 1.0 mL/min
- pH: not mentioned
- Solutes for dissolving test and reference substances: mobile phase

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: by means of homologous series / by inert substances which are not retained by the column: was measured using formamide as a non-retained solute.

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity: Acetanilide; N,N-dimethylbenzamide; methyl benzoate; aniline; linuron; naphthalene; fenthion; phenanthrene; DDT

DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: 26.82 µg
- Quantity of reference substances: 0.05 µg Acetanilide; 0.05 µg N,N-dimethylbenzamide; 0.06 µg methyl benzoate; 0.05 µg aniline; 0.05 µg linuron; 0.01 µg naphthalene; 0.28 µg fenthion; 0.05 µg phenanthrene; 0.28 µg DDT
- Intervals of calibration: two calibration lines were constructed, each containg six calibration substances. Part 1 included acetanilide; N,N-dimethylbenzamide; methyl benzoate; linuron; naphthalene; fenthion. Part 2 included: aniline; linuron; naphthalene; fenthion; phenanthrene; DDT.

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: two runs

EVALUATION
- Calculation of capacity factors k': the capacity factor, k, may be calculated from the retention time: k = (TR - T0)/T0 (TR = retention time for the calibration substances, and T0 is that for the void volume marker. The log of the capacity factor is plotted against the log of the adsorption coefficient to derive calibration graph: log k = slope x log Koc + constant.
- Calculation of retention times: KPLC retention data are generated for a series of calibration substances and the test substance.
- Determination of the log Koc value: The estimated adsorption coefficient is then calculated from the calibration graph obtained using the calibration substances: log Koc = (log k - constant)/slope. Consideration of the fiducial limits according to Fieller's Theorem permits derivation of the 95% confidence interval for the results.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Executive summary:

The test substance eluted as three evaluated components:

11.5% by peak area eluted at a shorter retention time than that of the void volume marker compound formamide, and the log Koc value cannot therefore be defined.

73.4% by peak area eluted at a retention time equivalent to a log Koc value of 5.5, and within a 95% confidence area of 5.0 to 6.3.

15.1% by peak area eluted at a retention time equivalent to a log Koc value of 6.5, and within a 95% confidence area of 5.8 to 7.5.
