Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The ready biodegradability test was performed according to the OECD Test Method 301 A, Modified AFNOR-Test. The biodegradation (28 d) of FAT-20306/B was 0 %. This showed that the test substance is not readily biodegradable under the conditions of this test. Two reports about BOD5 and COD tests are available and used as supportive studies. The results indicated the BOD5/COD ratio was 0 % (BOD5= 0 mg O2/g; COD=1609.0 mg O2/g), which means the test substance is not readily biodegradable. However, when tested for inherent biodegradability in a Zahn-Wellens test according to OECD method 302B, the substance showed a DOC removal of 44 and 51 % within 28 and 33 days respectively. Thus, inherent biodegradability was found although the test method criterion was not met. In conclusion, the test substance is not readily biodegradable but shows inherent biodegradability, not fulfilling specific criteria. The information from biodegradation and hydrolysis tests is sufficient for the Persistence assessment. Thus, no further simulation tests of biodegradation are currently required at this tonnage level.
