Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The test item was tested for ready biodegradability in the CO2 evolution test according to OECD 301 B (1992). Based on the rate of biodegradation of <10 % CO2/ThCO2 at the end of exposure the test substance is considered to be not readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
The ready biodegradability of the test item was tested in the CO2 Evolution Test with non-adapted inoculum (activated sludge from a municipal sewage plant) over a period of 28 days according to OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 301 B (1992) and to the Commission Regulation 2008/440/EC, C.4-C. The test item concentration was 20 mg/L TOC, equivalent to approximately 27 mg/L test substance.
The required pass level for ready biodegradability within a ten days window was not reached and the degree of biodegradation after an exposure period of 28 days was <10% CO2/ThCO2. Therefore the test substance is considered as not readily biodegradable under the conditions of this test.
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.
