Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Additional information
The test item was evaluated for the ready biological degradability in the Closed Bottle Test, according to the EU Method C.4E (2008) and the OECD Guideline 301D (1992). The test item was sufficiently soluble in used mineral medium so the dosage from the stock solution was carried out. Sodium benzoate was used as a reference substance. The dosage was made up from the stock solution. In parallel to the main test, the toxicity test was performed.
The test item degraded by 8.0 % over 28 days. The reference substance degraded by 72.4 % over the same period. As the test item contains nitrogen in the chemical composition, the oxidized nitrogen forms were determined and the correction for nitrification was carried out. The test was performed at temperature of 20 ± 1 °C with pH values of 7 to 8 in solution at the beginning of the test. The calculations for biological degradation are based on ThOD (Theoretical Oxygen Demand) values of the test item and reference substance. The prescribed validity criteria in the test were fulfilled and the test item did not inhibit the inoculum used. Since all criteria of acceptability were met, this study is considered valid.
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.
