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.

Additional information

The test item was evaluated for ready biodegradability in water according to the OECD 301B and the EU-Method C.4-C. The degradation was followed by determining the carbon dioxide produced within a 28-day period.

The test concentration was 20 mg organic carbon per litre (corresponding to 59 mg test item/l). Aniline was used as a positive control. Activated sludge was used as inoculum (concentration in the test 25.0 mg dry matter/l). As with the test item, there are different constituents, the 10-day-window is not taken into account. Degradation of the test item was found to be 7 % in 28 days and all validity criteria were met.
