Preliminary study:

The preliminary hydrolysis tests were performed at 50.2 +/- 0.1°C. At pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9 a degree of hydrolysis of < 10% was observed after 5 days. It demonstrated that the half-life time of the test item at 25°C is > 1 year. According to the guideline, no further tests were required.

A small response at the retention time of the test item was observed in the blank buffer solutions. It was probably caused by carry over since a similar response was observed in the analytical blank.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Remarks:

The mean recoveries of the buffer solutions fell within the criterion range of 90-110%. It demonstrated that the analytical method was adequate to support the hydrolysis study on the test item.

Conclusions:

T001202 was found to be hydrolytically stable at pH 4.0, pH 7.0 an pH 9.0 with an estimated half-life time higher than 1 year at 25°C, therefore no further testing was performed.

Description of key information

One study (Ciric, 2016) was performed according to OECD guideline 111 and regarded as a key study (Klimisch score of 1). A half-life time of > 1 year at 25 °C and pH 7 was determined for T001202.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life for hydrolysis:

1 yr

at the temperature of:

25 °C

Additional information

The determination of the hydrolysis as a function of pH of T001202 was performed according to OECD guideline 111 (Ciric, 2016). A preliminary test was performed at 50°C at pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0. As the test item was found to be stable according to the criteria given in the guideline, no main test was performed. A half-life time of > 1 year at 25 °C and pH 7 was determined for T001202.
