Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
no
Interpretation of results:
other: inherently and ultimately biodegradable
Conclusions:
Akigalawood did not inhibit the intrinsic respiration of the inoculum at the test concentration and was therefore considered to be non-toxic to the inoculum at the test concentration.
Thus, Akigalawood should be regarded as not readily biodegradable according to this test. However, based on these results Akigalawood should be regarded as inherently and ultimately biodegradable.
