- Details on sampling:
- - Sampling intervals for the parent/transformation products: The samples, of nominal concentration approximately 0.9 mg/l, were placed in a 50°C waterbath in the dark until sampling was required (immediately, and then after 2.4, 120 and 240 hours).
- Sampling method: At each sampling time, two samples were removed from the bath and an aliquot (2.5 ml) of each was diluted to volume (5 ml) with methanol for analysis by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
- Sampling intervals/times for pH measurements: Sample pH and incubation temperature were monitored over the period of the test. - Buffers:
- - pH: 4, 7 and 9
- Type and final molarity of buffer: pH 4: 0.2M aqueous potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate, pH 7: 0.2M aqueous potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate, pH 9: 0.1M boric acid in 0.1M aqueous potassium chloride.
- Composition of buffer:
pH 4: 0.2M aqueous potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (110 ml) was mixed with 0.07M aqueous disodium hydrogen orthophosphate dodecahydrate (250 ml) and purified water (640 ml). The pH was adjusted to 4.0 ± 0.05 with orthophosphoric acid.
pH 7: 0.2M aqueous potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (250 ml) was mixed with 1M sodium hydroxide (30 ml) and purified water (720 ml). The pH was adjusted to 7.0 ± 0.05 with 1M sodium hydroxide/1M hydrochloric acid as required.
pH 9: 0.1M boric acid in 0.1M aqueous potassium chloride (500 ml) was mixed with 1M sodium hydroxide (21 ml) and purified water (480 ml). The pH was adjusted to 9.0 ± 0.05 with 1M sodium hydroxide/1M hydrochloric acid as required. - Estimation method (if used):

- Details on test procedure for unstable compounds: not applicable
- If no traps were used, is the test system closed/open: closed (Weaton vials)
TEST MEDIUM
- Volume used: 10ml
- Kind and purity of water: purified sterilised water
- Preparation of test solution: Aliquots (1.5 ml) of a stock solution of TCD in acetonitrile (approximately 5 mg/l) were added to separate 10 ml Wheaton vials containing buffer solution (7.5 ml), which had been purged with nitrogen and pre-equilibrated at test temperature (50 ± 0.5°C). In an initial test, a
smaller quantity of acetonitrile (1% v/v) had been used as co-solvent, but volatilisation of TCD was evident at the test temperature and it was considered that additional solvent was required to maintain the test substance in solution.
- Renewal of test solution: not applicable

SUPPLEMENTARY EXPERIMENT (if any): RESULTS:
Not applicable, the substance is stable to hydrolysis - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- TCD was determined to be hydrolytically stable under acidic, neutral and basic conditions.
Reference
There were no significant changes in pH and temperature with time. The slightly elevated pH values were due to the presence of the cosolvent (samples prepared at the same concentration, but with 1% v/v co-solvent, were generally within ± 0.1 units of nominal pH value).
Nominal: pH 4, measured: pH 4.4 (initial and final)
Nominal pH 7, measured: pH 7.4 (initial and final)
Nominal pH 9, measured: pH 9.5 (initial and final)
Description of key information
TCD was determined to be hydrolytically stable under acidic, neutral and basic conditions.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life for hydrolysis:
- 1 yr
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
The substance is stable to hydrolysis for 5 days at 50°C in a preliminary hydrolysis test carried out in accordance with OECD test Guideline 111 (Huntingdon Life Sciences, 2013, Study number VHJ0055).
Further work is not undertaken as it can be concluded from the results of the preliminary test that the substance will have a half-life time of greater than 1 year at 25°C at pH 4, 7 and 9.
