Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
A degradation rate of 49% after 28 days was determined. The substance is thus judged to be inherently biodegreadable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
Additional information
The CO2 -Evolutiontest was carried out to assess the potential of the test substance to biodegrade in water. It is a static test carried out under aerobic conditions. The test procedure followed OECD guideline 301 B and conduction complied with GLP-criteria. As a result, a degradation rate of 49 % after 28 days was reported. As the pass level of 60% of ThCO2 was not reached, the test substance can not be considered as readily degradable according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), but as the degradation rate exceeded 20 % it can be classified as inherently biodegradable.
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.
