Study design
- Light source:
- other: UV-radiation, source unknown
- Light spectrum: wavelength in nm:
- > 260 - < 340
Duration of test at given test condition
- Temp.:
- 25 °C

Results and discussion
Spectrum of substance
- Parameter:
- max lambda
- Value:
- 300 nm
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The light absorption maximum at approximately 300 nm in water indicates that phthalimide may potentially undergo direct photolysis in water due to absorbance of environmental UV light.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
