Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
There is no information available for C14 -15 Alcohols; predominantly linear, so data were read-across from studies on closely related linear or branched alcohols of similar chain length.
The available results were conducted in accordance to an appropriate guideline. However, the most recent standard study which is reliable without restriction (Instituto Guido 1995) was selected as the key study. A ready biodegradation value of 82% in 28 days (OECD 301F) was obtained for the test substance. Other supporting study gave a ready biodegradation values of 75% in 28 days (OECD 301F). The available studies gave consistent results that are considered reliable for the purpose of environmental assessment. The test substance is found to be readily biodegradable.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.
