Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
Biodegradation in water: screening test
No data with the test substance are available. A weight of evidence approach with the read across substance melamine (CAS 108-78-1) is applied. Based on the reported studies, which are consistent in the result: melamine is not inherently biodegradable and also not readily biodegradable (% degradation (DOC removal) < 10 % in 28 days according to OECD 302 B (1992) in the study (Taeger, 1993 (BASF SE)). Based on this result, the target substance is considered to be not readily biodegradable. Biodegradation, also stepwise, t cyanuric acid and lastly to CO2 and NH4+ can occur in waste water treatment plants with adapted microorganisms.
Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation test
A biodegradation in water and sediment simulation test does need not to be conducted. A log kow of -3 (at 25 °C) and a determined log Koc < 1.3 indicate low potential for adsorption to solid soil/sediment . Thus, a simulation test on biodegradation in water and sediment does not need to be conducted.
Biodegradation in soil
A biodegradation in soil does need not to be conducted. A log kow of -3 (at 25 °C) and a determined log Koc < 1.3 indicate low potential for adsorption to solid soil. Thus, a simulation test on biodegradation in soil does not need to be conducted.
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.
