Materials and methods

Test guidelineopen allclose all
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 111 (Hydrolysis as a Function of pH)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method C.7 (Degradation: Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The study report states that the test was performed in accordance with EEC 84/449 Method C10. However, this test method does not refer to a hydrolysis study and hence is considered to be a typographical error in the report.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)

Details on test material:
Purity: 97.3% (considered as 100%)
Batch number: 9236-23

no

Study design

Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
Samples were taken at different time intervals (0, 17, 21, 27, 41, 65, 89, 113 and 120 h) and stored at 4°C until assay by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
At pH 4 degradation was observed to occur before time point 17 hours; therefore, a second test was performed with two additional time points 2.4 and 3.5 hours.
