Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicability of read across approach

For the assessment of the stability and biodegradability of the substance registered, a read across approach to an analogue substance was being applied. The applicability of the read across approach had been confirmed by the registrant via an expert statement (see IUCLID chapter 13).

Abiotic and biotic degradation

Based on the available data it is to be concluded that the analogue substance is hydrolytically stable in the environmentally relevant pH and temperature range.

In the two studies on ready and inherent biodegradability, the analogue substance was not biodegradable under the test conditions within 28 days.

The analogue substance therefore is to be considered as persistent. Furthermore the substance does not fulfil CLP criteria for being "rapidly degradable", what has implications to chronic aquatic toxicity classification.

Based on the applicability of the proposed read across approach, the same degradation properties are likely to apply to the substance registered as well.

Transport and distribution

As a cationic azo paper dye the substance registered is highly adsorptive to cellulose fibres. Furthermore, with reference to the actually observed highly efficient removal in a mechanical-biological wastewater treatment process, the high level of adsorption to activated sludge of cationic azo paper dyes in general, and of the substance registered in particular, also is evidenced. Conduct of a laboratory-based adsorption/desorption study is considered not necessary and therefore is being waived. For the substance registered an indicative log Koc value of 6.0 shall be used for risk assessment, i.e. the substance registered is to be considered as highly adsorptive to sludge and soil.

Bioaccumulation

For substances within the tonnage band 10 - 100 tpa the conduct of a bioaccumulation study is not needed. Based on the low log Pow < -1.4 it further can be concluded that bioaccumulative behaviour can be considered as very unlikely for the substance registered.
