Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The study was performed in compliance with the following quality criteria:
. The biomass in the control cultures has increased exponentially by a factor higher than 16 within the 72-day test period. This corresponds to a specific growth rate of 0.92 day e-1.
. The mean coefficient of variation for section-by-section specific growth rates (days 0-1, 1-2 and 2-3, for 72-hour tests) in the control cultures did not exceed 35%. This criterion applies to the mean value of coefficients of variation calculated for replicate control cultures.
. The coefficient of variation of average specific growth rates during the whole test period in replicate control cultures did not exceed 7%.
