Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- hydrolysis
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: non-GLP; well documented study report following a screening study and method equivalent or similar to guideline with acceptable deviations according to the regulatory conclusion that the substance is hydrolytically stable in specific pH ranges.
- Remarks:
- The study would not fulfil the requirements of OECD TG 111 (2004) Tier 2 or Tier 3 requirements. The test was conducted at physiologically relevant temperature (40 °C) rather than the guideline preliminary test temperature 50 °C.
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 111 (Hydrolysis as a Function of pH)
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Screening study examined: pH 2, 5, 7, 8.5 and 12 rather than guideline pH range 4, 7 and 9; duplicate tests were not performed; full analytical validation was not documented within the study; degradation products were not identified.
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method C.7 (Degradation: Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH)
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- see above
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The test followed a method equivalent or similar to OECD TG 111 (hydrolysis as a function of pH) - as a screening study for the hydrolysis properties of the test substance. The screening study examined: pH 2, 5, 7, 8.5 and 12 using suitable buffers; at 40 °C for 28d by analytical monitoring through GC-FID analyses. Regulatory conclusion that the substance is hydrolytically stable.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Remarks:
- In accordance with REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006: Annex XI: section 1.1.2 adequate and reliable (with restrictions) study information has been provided (not in accordance with GLP) but which can be considered equivalent to the relevant test method.
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- - Physical state: Liquid
- Other: Colourless - Radiolabelling:
- no
- Details on sampling:
- - Sampling intervals for the parent/transformation products: on a regular basis throughout the test (typically at time = 0, 0.25, 1, 2, 4, 7, 15, 21 and 28 days
- Sampling method: Small aliquots of the test solution are extracted with an organic solvent (typically cyclohexane or ethyl acetate) containing a hydrocarbon standard (typically C12, C17 or C20). The extracts are analyzed by GC-FID and the results are plotted as (Area/Area Std) expressed in [%]. The measurement at time = 0 is set at 100% and the succeeding measurements are calculated relatively to the time = 0 measurement. Therefore the curves represent the percentage of product remaining in the test solution at the time of analysis.
- Other observation, if any (e.g.: precipitation, color change etc.): No physical changes reported. Analytical comment: isomerisation of isomer 1 (minor) to isomer 2 (major) was reported at pH 12 - Buffers:
- - pH: test media are standard aqueous buffers at pH 2, pH 5, pH 7, pH 8.5 and pH 12 containing 1% of non ionic surfactant (Arkopal N 150).
- Type and final molarity of buffer: Molarity not reported.

- Preliminary study:
- 1. pH 2, 5, 7, 8.5 and 12, < 10% degradation after 5 days was observed. Similarly, after 28 days at pH 2, 5, 7 and pH 8.5, < 10% disappearance was observed. It can be concluded that under the conditions of the present test and at pH 2, 5, 7, and 8.5 the substance is hydrolytically stable (as defined in the OECD TG 111 for hydrolysis as a function of pH).
2. At pH 12 at 5 days and up to 28 days, increasing concentrations of test item (> 100%) was observed. This was considered to be the result of isomerisation of isomer 1 (minor constituent isomer) to isomer 2 (major constituent isomer) that was being analytically followed as a tracer. Isomerisation is a non-hydrolytic method of degradation. At pH 12 the test item is incompatible with the OECD TG 111 preliminary test system.
It can be concluded that under the conditions of the present test, the test substance is hydrolytically stable as defined in the OECD TG 111 for hydrolysis as a function of pH – tier 1: less than 10% degradation at 5 days under acidic (pH 5), neutral (pH 7) and basic (pH 8.5) conditions. - Test performance:
- No unusual findings were reported in the study at pH 2, 5, 7 or 8.5. At pH 12 at 5 days and up to 28 days, increasing concentrations of test item (> 100%) was observed. This was considered to be the result of isomerisation of isomer 1 (minor constituent isomer) to isomer 2 (major constituent isomer) that was being analytically followed as a tracer. Isomerisation is a non-hydrolytic method of degradation. At pH 12 the test item is incompatible with the OECD TG 111 preliminary test system. However, as this is beyond the relevant guideline pH range it was considered unnecessary to conduct further testing.

- Executive summary:
The hydrolytic stability of the test item was investigated using a method similar or equivalent to OECD TG 111 (hydrolysis as a function of pH) and EU Method A.7. The test media are standard aqueous buffers at pH 2, pH 5, pH 7, pH 8.5 and pH 12 containing 1% of non-ionic surfactant (Arkopal N 150). The tests are done in accelerated conditions at 40°C for approximately one month (28d). 200 – 300 ppm of test substance are dissolved in the pH buffer containing the surfactant and put into storage in an oven at 40°C. Commercial reference grades of buffer are utilised as listed in documented literature sources. Small aliquots of the test solution are extracted with an organic solvent (typically cyclohexane or ethyl acetate) containing a hydrocarbon standard (typically C12, C17 or C20) on a regular basis throughout the test (typically at time = 0, 0.25, 1, 2, 4, 7, 15, 21 and 28 days). The extracts are analysed by GC-FID. Under the analytical conditions employed the test item peak was eluted and the results were then plotted with time to show the degradation curves of the substance. For the test item at pH 5, 7, 8.5 < 10% degradation after 5 days was observed. Similarly, after 28 days at pH 5, 7 and 8.5 < 10% degradation was observed. At pH 2, < 10% degradation after 5 and 28 days was observed. At pH 12 after 5 to 28 days, increasing concentrations of test item (> 100%) was observed. This was considered to be the result of isomerisation of isomer 1 (minor constituent isomer) to isomer 2 (major constituent isomer) that was being analytically followed as a tracer. Isomerisation is a non-hydrolytic method of degradation. It can be concluded that under the conditions of the present test the test item is hydrolytically stable as defined in the OECD TG 111 for hydrolysis as a function of pH at acidic, neutral and basic pH ranges.
