Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Two guideline studies which investigated the ready biodegradability of the substance are available. Both studies concluded that the substance cannot be considered to be readily biodegradable.
Additional information
The following information is available for the biodegradation endpoint:
Beimborn, 2000, was selected as the key study as it was considered the most reliable study according to the criteria set out by Klimisch, 1997.
The Beimborn, 2000, study is a Manometric Respirometry Test performed according to Annex of EEC-Directive 92/69 and corresponds to OCED Guideline 301 F and ISO Standard 948. The test was performed at 22±1ºC with a concentration of 50 mg/l. The inoculum was collected 12 days before the study initiation from the municipal waste water treatment plant of Mannheim, 1 day before the study initiation the inoculum was supplimented with sludge from the waste water treatment plant of the testing laboratory in order to obtain a concentration of 30 mg/l dry solids.
The test produced the following results:
Biodegradation degree (BOD of ThOD) after 28 days: 30 -40%
Biodegradation degree (BOD of ThOD) after 39 days: 50 -60%
Based upon these results the registered substance is considered to be not readily biodegradable (according to OCED criteria).
The Baumann, 1992, study is presented as supporting information only. The percentage biodegradation results of the study were as follows: 11.7 mg test substance/1 = 40% in 28 days and 22.7 mg test substance/1 = 28% in 28 days. Based upon these results it is considered that the substance does not meet the EU criteria for classification as a readily biodegradable substance.
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.
