Description of key information
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex IX, Section 9.2 and 9.2.1.2, Column 2, the simulation test on ultimate degradation in surface water does not need to be conducted as the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I indicates that there is no need to investigate further the degradation of the substance and its degradation products. The test item and the hydrolytic products were assessed. The test item is poorly biodegradable and hydrolyses slowly. Nevertheless, it gets degraded and metabolized. Sebacic acid was a metabolite that was detected. It is readily biodegradable. The other metabolite that was detected during the hydrolytic process was 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol which is not classified as PBT substance. Furthermore, QSAR predictions by CATALOGIC revealed, that no hazard regarding the potential for bioaccumulation for the degradation products was shown. Therefore, neither a risk nor a hazard for the environment could be identified. Moreover, the risk characterization ratios (RCRs) of the chemical safety assessment are below 1, indicating that the risks are acceptable. Therefore, no simulated biodegradation studies in water and sediment are provided.

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.
