Applicability domain
(OECD principle 3)

Domains:

1) Chemical class

An equation for the estimation of the aqueous hydrolytic rate constant is available for the chemical class of the substance.

2) Fragments (On-Line HYDROWIN User’s Guide, Appendix E)

All fragments were identified.

3.4

The uncertainty of the prediction
(OECD principle 4)

According to REACH Guidance Document R.7a, (Nov. 2012), hydrolysis kinetics are usually determined experimentally. The guidance document also lists HYDROWIN as a means to estimate the hydrolytic half-life. The estimation is limited to only a few chemical classes. The model marks uncertainties of the estimate due to substitute values for missing fragments. As yet, the QSAR equations in HYDROWIN have not been rigorously tested with an external validation dataset. Currently, the number of chemicals with evaluated hydrolysis rates is relatively small in number, and the available data have been used to train the QSAR regressions. The training data set for esters has an acceptable size (n = 124). Equations for the other chemical classes were developed on very small databases (n = 7 to 20); therefore the reliability of estimations for members of other chemical classes than esters is low.

3.5

The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result
(OECD principle 5)

Hydrolysis is a common degradation route in the environment, where reaction of a substance with water with a net exchange of the X group with an OH at the reaction centre such that RX + H2O →ROH + HX. Hydrolysis is often dependent upon pH as the reaction is commonly catalysed by hydrogen or hydroxide ions.

The model uses the principle of linear free energy relationships (LFER) to estimate the aqueous hydrolysis rate.
