Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
- Endpoint:
- biodegradation in water: simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable
- Justification for type of information:
- Docosonaic acid has been shown to decompose rapidly (see 5.2). Fatty acids in general are considered readily biodegradable (see e.g. stearic acid and oleic acid). In accordance with column 2 of EC 1907/2006 Annex IX 9.2 further testing is not required as the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I does not indicate the need to investigate further the degradation of the substance and its degradation products.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
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.
