Additional information

The results of the biodegradation screening study conducted on a structurally related analogue substance (in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5) show that Glycerides, C8-21 and C8-21-unsaturated, mono- and di-, acetates (CAS No. 97593-30-1) can be considered readily biodegradable (83% biodegradation in 28 days). Based on this information, Glycerides, C8-21 and C8-21-unsaturated, mono- and di-, acetates is expected to be rapidly biodegraded by microorganisms in both aquatic and terrestrial environments and therefore, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex IX, Column 2, 9.2.1.2, 9.2.1.3 and 9.2.1.4, further simulation testing on biodegradation of the substance in water, sediment and soil is not required.
