Description of key information
According to column 2 of Annex IX further testing on biodegradation in water and sediment should be considered if the chemical safety assessment indicates the need to investigate further the degradation of the substance and its degradation products. Based on the ready biodegradability study (and any other information on degradation on screening level) conducted with the substance it was concluded that the substance is not readily biodegradable (maximum percentage degradation 43% after 28 days in a ready biodegradability screening test (62 % after prolongation to 61 days)). Based on these results it may be feasible to change this conclusion more favourably, because the substance may not have been fully available to bacteria (test concentration 100 mg/L versus water solubility 10 mg/L). The conclusion on the non-ready biodegradability is conservative. With using this result in the CSA further investigation of biotic degradation is not triggered.

Additional information
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.
