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

Under standard test conditions no readily biodegradation was observed.

In Robama study (Riva, 2000) Direct Black 22 (DBk22) was tested to determine the biodegradation in 28 days, at 80% active material and results showed that substance is not ready biodegradable. This result can be consider reliable and appropriated.

Furthermore this conclusion has been confirmed by read across with the Similar Substance 01 that resulted not inherently biodegradable in experimental study (Haner, 2007) and that has been resulted not biodegradable in any of the further three tests conducted respectively for inherent and ready biodegradability reported in literature (Pagga et al, 1986).

Based on CSR and reported risk management measures, direct and indirect exposure of sediment and soil to DBk22 is unlikely; since no exposure of the aquatic compartment is foreseen and thus subsequent sediment and/or soil exposure can be excluded.
