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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Waived: Simulation tests are not justified based on exposure considerations
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
As per Annex IX and X, item 9.2 Column 2, degradation simulation testing in water and /or sediment does not need to be conducted, as the chemical safety assessment indicates no need to investigate further the degradation of the substances and its degradation products.
Despite the fact that no further simulation tests are needed, Dow Benelux B.V., the registrant of this dossier, has conducted a simulation test using activated sludge from the registrant’s waste water treatment plant. A degradation rate of min 7% was achieved. This data has been incorporated in the site specific risk assessment of the manufacturing scenario of the registrant.
Microbial degradation metabolites have been predicted by a QSAR study. These metabolites have Log KOWvalues similar or less than their corresponding parent compounds. Since the ecotoxicity and bioaccumulation potential of these polyols and their metabolites correlate well with their Log KOW, the metabolites are not expected to be more toxic or more bioaccumulative than their parent compounds.
Additional tests are not required for ecological risk assessment, or PBT assessment, of the UVCB substance and its associated components and degradation products.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
