The test substance is readily biodegradable. - Parameter:
- COD
- Value:
- 1 687 mg O2/g test mat.
- Parameter:
- BOD5
- Value:
- 277 mg O2/g test mat.
- Results with reference substance:
- 100% DOC elimination in 10 days
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The test substance reached a biodegradation of 90 - 100% in 28 days. The 10-day-window was passed. Therefore, the test substance is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
- Executive summary:
The ready biodegradability of Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate was tested according to EU method C.4-D (manometric respirometry test equivalent to OECD 301F) under GLP conditions. Non-adapted municipal activated sludge was used as inoculum. The test substance was tested at concentrations between of 52 and 200 mg/L. The validity criteria are fulfilled. The pass level of 60% biodegradation was reached in less than 10 days. After 28 days a biodegradation of 90 – 100 % was observed. Therefore, the test substance is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
Referenceopen allclose all
The toxicity control indicates that the test substance is not inhibitory to activated sludge microorganisms (> 90% degradation after 14 days)
Description of key information
Read-across substance, bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, was determined to be readily biodegradable.
Read-across substance, diisononyl adipate, was determined to be readily biodegradable.
Read-across substance, ditridecyl adipate, was determined to be readily biodegradable.
Read-across substance, bis(6 -methylheptyl) adipate, was determined to be readily biodegradable.
Therefore, based on read-across from these four similar substances, diisodecyl adipate is considered to be readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
