Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
The biodegradation potential of the test item was tested in a BODIS Test for Insoluble Substances. The average degradation rate of the test item was 15.28 % after 28 d, therefore, the substance is considered as not readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
A study was performed to assess the biodegradability of the test material according to the ISO 10708 guideline. There were three vessels per study group: a blank without test material; one with 0.0071 g of the test material (a ThOD of 20 mg/L); and one with 0.5 mL of sodium benzoate stock solution containing 25 mg/mL. The oxygen consumption rates of the blanks, the reference substance and the test material were compared, presenting the degradability of the test material. Test results were considered valid if the percentage degradation of the reference material had reached the level of 60% ThOD within 14 days and the total oxygen uptake in the blanks after the first week of the test was lower than 3 mg O2/L and in the following week not >/= 1 mg/L per week. Within 28 days a biodegradation rate of 15.28% was determined for the test material, which was rated as 'average' degradation. The reference substance achieved a 67.33% biodegradation rate after 14 days and all validity criteria of the test method were met.
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.
