Details on results:

Preliminary test:
The content of test item dissolved in the water sample was 4.19 mg/L.

Main study:
No test item was detected upon ten-fold dilution. Therefore, samples were analysed undiluted, too.
Without dilution, observed signals were below the lowest calibration standard. In order to judge whether stirring time sufficed to establish the saturation equilibrium, analysed concentrations were calculated by extrapolation for the samples taken at 4, 5 and 6 days. The maximum difference (MD) after 5 and 6 days stirring was ≤ 15%. Based on these values the saturation equilibrium was considered established.

No test item was detected in the blank water mixture.

Table 1: Main study - water solubility of the test item (ten-fold dilution)

Stirring time [hours]	Analysed concentration [mg/L]	Mean [mg/L]	MD [%]	pH
24	n.d.	<0.1*	n.a.	7.4
48				7.3
72				7.9

*As observed signals were below the lowest calibration standard, the result is expressed accordingly. A dilution factor of 10 is taken into account.

*Estimated value, calculated by extrapolation of the calibration curve. Based on these values the saturation equilibrium was considered established.

**As observed signals were below the lowest calibration standard, the result is expressed accordingly. Samples were measured undiluted.

***Calculated for the analysed concentration of after 5 and 6 days stirring time.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The water solubility of the test item at 20°C was < 0.01 mg/L.
The pH of the aqueous samples was between 7.3 - 7.9.

Executive summary:

The water solubility of dichloro trifluoro methoxy dioxolane (CAS 161611-73-0) was determined using the slow-stirring flask method according to the OECD guideline 105 (1995) and in compliance with GLP guidelines.

Since, in preliminary test, the water solubility of the test item was found to be < 0.01 g/L, the slow-stirring flask method was chosen for the main study.

In the main test, no test item was detected upon ten-fold dilution therefore samples were also analysed undiluted. In spite of the analysis of undilutes samples, the observed signals were still below the lowest calibration standard (0.01 mg/L). Therefore, the water solubility of the test item at 20°C was considered to be < 0.01 mg/L. The pH of the aqueous samples ten-fold dilution was 7.3 - 7.9.
