Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2019
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: REACH Guidance on QSARs R.6 (QSPR model adapted specifically from OECD test guideline 301)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Multiple Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) models were used to predict the Ready Biodegradability of the test item - multiconstituent containing Methyl Linolenate, Methyl Linoleate and Methyl Oleate. These QSAR models has been designed to be used for regulatory purposes and based on the QSAR results, this report predicts the consensus endpoint value which would be expected when testing the substance under experimental conditions in a laboratory following the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 301: Ready Biodegradability.
The purpose of the in silico study was to predict the Ready Biodegradability of the test item - multiconstituent containing Methyl Linolenate, Methyl Linoleate and Methyl Oleate. This prediction was performed using the following QSAR models:
* Danish QSAR Database (SciQSAR, Case Ultra, LeadScope)
* VEGA 1.1.4 (Ready Biodegradability model (IRFMN) -v1.0.9)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
SMILES:
* Methyl Linolenate: O=C(OC)CCCCCCCC=CCC=CCC=CCC
* Methyl Linoleate: O=C(OC)CCCCCCCC=CCC=CCCCCC
* Methyl oleate: O=C(OC)CCCCCCCC=CCCCCCCCC
