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 pure constituent 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 Pascal.

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 Pascal. 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.

Executive summary:

A calculation method prediction was performed to assess the vapour pressure of 19 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.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of the constituents of the substance (19 components of the substance covering more than 90% of the composition) are in the range between 11.3 and 656 Pa (valid QSAR estimations).

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 19 of them represent more than 90% of that mixture.

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 criterion predicted was the vapour pressure in Pa at 25°C.

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

constituents	vapour pressure (Pa) at 25 °C	95% confidence limits (Pa)
1	372	352 - 392
2	21.5	19.9 - 23.3
3	49.7	45.9 - 53.8
4	51.6	47.6 - 55.9
5	32.4	30.7 - 34.2
6	12.7	10.1 - 15.8
7	533	505 - 562
8	239	227 - 252
9	343	325 - 361
10	181	171 - 190
11	463	439 - 488
12	249	236 - 262
13	651	618 - 686
14	229	217 - 241
15	656	623 - 692
16	11.3	10.4 - 12.2
17	51.6	47.6 - 55.9
18	357	339 - 376
19	160	152 - 169

The substance is a 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 19 constituents of the substance and no single key value was retained (nor calculated weighted Vapour pressure nor worst-case).
