Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- inherently biodegradable
Additional information
Both ready and inherent biodegradation of Cu(II)-IDHA were experimentally investigated.
With regard to the non-GLP study performed according to OECD Guideline 302B (Adob, 2013), 79.6 % degradation of the test item was obtained after 28 days. Conclusively, the substance Cu(II)-IDHA is considered as inherently biodegradable under the test conditions.
Referring to the results determined according to OECD Guideline 301F (Cokesa et al., 2004), the substance is potentially biodegradable. Based on O2 consumption, Cu(II)-IDHA revealed 40 % degradation during 28 days. However, precise conclusions on the ready biodegradability of the substance could not be drawn since important experimental details (test substance concentration) are missing. Furthermore, no toxicity control has been conducted although inactivation of microorganism was assumed due to the release of copper cations.
Since it was shown in the OECD 302B non-GLP study (Adob, 2013) that > 50 % degradation of the test item was obtained after 7 days, a strong biodegradation potantial is assumed for the test substance.
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.
