Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
Hydrolysis was studied for T002113 following guideline OECD 111 during 5 days at pH 4, 7 and 9 and at 50°C. the measured concentrations indicates a fast degradation during the first hours at pH 7.0 and pH 9.0. Afterwards the degradation is much lower. A second test was performed with silanised glass vessels and elongated sampling period up to 16 days. T002113 does not degrade completely up to 16 days indicating a very slow degradation. It was concluded that the estimated half-life time at 25°C is longer than 1 year at pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0. Therefore, no further testing was performed. The results of the test can be considered reliable without restriction.
