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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Two ready-type and one inherent-type biodegradation studies were performed with TCPP, the results showed that TCPP is not readily biodegradeble, but the evidences supporting a conclusion of inherent biodegradability.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
Additional information
Test for ready biodegradability(equivalent to OECD 301C) indicated 0% degradation occurs after 28 days incubation of the test substance with sewage sludge. Another test for ready biodegradability according to OECD 301E shows, after 28 days incubation of the test substance with sewage sludge indicated 14% degradation. Such results showed that TCPP is not readily biodegradable.
An EPA standard testing with prolonged closed bottle test appears acceptable. The test conditions were unfavorable relative to standard inherent tests such as the Zahn-Wellens test (e.g. much lower concentration of inoculums). Significant degradation was observed, and the positive result of the test supporting a conclusion of inherent biodegradability.
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.
