Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The hydrolysis rate of the substance at pH 4, 7 and 9 is >1 year
Executive summary:

In a hydrolysis study performed according to OECD 111, the preliminary test at pH 4, 7 and 9 showed hydrolysis < 10% at 50 °C over the 5 day test period..

It can therefore be concluded that the hydrolysis rate of the substance at all tested pH values is > 1 year.
