Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, 2-ethylhexyl ester, (2S)-

Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests

Administrative data

Endpoint:

biodegradation in water: simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable

Justification for type of information:

2-Ethyhexyl lactate is readily biodegradable; therefore, according to REACH Annex IX, column 2, points 9.2.1.2, 9.2.1.4 and 9.2.3, simulation testing in water and/or sediment is not required.
