- Result of the main test
The three calibration series (reference solutions) and three test material series were measured using the standard conditions. The partition coefficient Pow was determined based on a calibration curve using 6 reference substances.
The capacity factors “k” were calculated from the dead time and retention times of the reference substances. The log Pow data of the reference substances were plotted against their log k values.
The equation of the curve fitted to the calibration points is as follows:
log Pow = 3.1714 × log k + 1.6036 (R² = 0.9926)
The calibration curve met the acceptance criteria between log Pow 2.1 and 5.7.

Conclusions:
The capacity factor k and log Pow for the test material were calculated based on the calibration data obtained with the reference substances. The estimated log Pow of the detected peak of the test material, based on the chromatograms, is 3.69 ± 0.001 with 95 % confidence interval.
Executive summary:

The octanol-water partition coefficient of the test material was determined in a study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 117 and EU Method A.24, under GLP conditions, following the HPLC method.

Under the conditions of the study, the log Pow of the test material was estimated to be 3.69 ± 0.001 with 95 % confidence interval.
