Remarks:
QSAR model
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) model was used to calculate the vapour pressure of the constituents of the test item. This QSPR model has been validated as a QSAR model to be compliant with the OECD recommendations for QSAR modeling (OECD, 2004) and predicts the endpoint value which would be expected when testing the substance under experimental conditions in a laboratory following Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 104, "Vapour Pressure". The criterion predicted was the vapour pressure at 25°C in Pascals.

The determination was performed using a regression method in which validated boiling point values are plotted against the log of vapour pressure values, where the pressure is in Pascals. The comparison was made with other members of the same chemical group. The results are considered to be as accurate as those from a good quality OECD guideline 104 study.

Constituent 1 : 0.505 Pa (0.405-0.629 Pa)
Constituent 2 : 1.80 Pa (1.67-1.95 Pa)
Constituent 3 : 239 Pa (227-252 Pa)
Constituent 4 : 7.58 Pa (6.08-9.45 Pa)
Constituent 5 : 286 Pa (272-302 Pa)

Constituent 15 : 372 Pa (352 - 392 Pa)
Executive summary:

A calculation method prediction was performed to assess the vapour pressure of 15 constituents of the substance. This calculation method predicts the endpoint value which would be expected when testing a pure substance under experimental conditions in a laboratory following Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 104.

The estimation method is based on a linear regression equations for a series of common structures (for example alkanes) generated using high quality vapour pressure data. In the majority of cases data for vapour pressure were obtained from the following methods described in the OECD Guideline No. 104: isoteniscope, dynamic, static, effusion (vapour pressure balance or loss of weight) and gas saturation methods. Likewise, data for boiling points were obtained from the following methods described in the OECD Guideline No. 103: DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis), dynamic method, capillary (Siwoloboff) method, ebulliometer, distillation and photocell detection.

Finally the vapour pressures of 15 constituents of the test item (covering more than 85% of the composition) were estimated in a range between 0.167 and 372 Pa at 25°C.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of the constituents of the substance (15 components of the substance covering more than 85% of the composition) are in the range between 0.167 and 372 Pa at 25°C (valid QSAR estimations).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No study was conducted on the test item itself.

The test item is a natural complex substance (NCS). It is a mixture of several constituents, but 15 of them represent more than 85% of that mixture.

A valid calculation method (QSAR approach) has been used to estimate the vapour pressure of these constituents at 25°C. It predicts the endpoint value which would be expected when testing pure substances under experimental conditions in a laboratory following Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 104.

The vapour pressure of the constituents of the substance were estimated at 25°C as follows:

The substance is an UVCB with constituents having different vapour pressures. In addition we can not anticipate the impact of the interactions between the constituents and the influence of the physical state of the substance on the whole substance vapour pressure.

Therefore we considered the vapour pressure of the 15 constituents of the substance and no single key value was retained (nor calculated weighted Vapour pressure nor worst-case).
