Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
In the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7C: Endpoint specific guidance (May 2008), section R. 7.11.2.1 Standard information requirements (page 109) it is specified that "In the case of readily biodegradable substances which are not directly applied to soil it is generally assumed that the substance will not enter the terrestrial environment and as such there is no need for testing of soil organisms is required." Depanol I is ready biodegradable and is not directly applied to the soil. Therefore, it can be assumed that it will not enter the terrestrial environment.
The Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7C: Endpoint specific guidance (May 2008), section R. 7.11.6.3, Table R.7.11-2, page 131, specifies the information needed to waive the terrestrial studies based on soil hazard categories.
Depanol I is ready biodegradable. The log Pow of Depanol I is >4 but Depanol I is volatile (vapour pressure 2.21 hPa). Therefore, accumulation and persistence of Depanol I in soil and organisms is very unlikely. Depanol I is toxic to pelagic aquatic organisms (EC50 < 1 mg/L). However, due to the volatility of Depanol I, these test needed to be performed in closed vessels to reduce loss of the test substance during the exposure period. Therefore, terrestrial tests are not considered as technically possible and the screening test is not considered as appropriate. A PNEC soil of 0.0115 mg /kg soil dw was calculated using the aquatic PNEC and the equilibrium partitioning method. Based on these characteristics, Depanol I is not expected to cause adverse effects on terrestrial organisms and consequently terrestrial toxicity tests are not needed.
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.
