Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test compound is considered to be hydrolytically stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 and 25 °C.
Executive summary:

The rate of hydrolysis of ZK 4957 was determined according to EC guideline C.7 at pH 4, 7 and 9.

At pH 4, 7 and 9 less than 10 % of the initial concentration were degraded within 5 days at    50 +/- 0.1 °C.

According to the EC guideline, ZK 4957 is therefore considered hydrolytically stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 and 25 °C.
