Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 and sediment: simulation tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Biodegradation testing in water and sediment are waived, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No.1907/2006, Column 2 of Annex IX, as the substance has been shown to be rapidly biodegradable in a soil aerobic degradation study.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
According to Regulation (EC) No.1907/2006, Annex IX, Column 2, biodegradation testing in surface water and sediment need not be conducted if the substance is readily biodegradable. A soil simulation biodegradation study showed that the substance was rapidly biodegradable in soil under aerobic conditions; the soils were not pre-adapted to the substance, which was applied at a concentration of 0.376 mg/kg soil dry weight. Mineralisation was reported at 70.7% in 28 days, and at 80.8% in 121 days (at the conclusion of the test). The DT50 for the substance (i.e., the parent compound) and its primary metabolite (i.e., Metabolite II) were reported as 9.7 days and 3.5 days, respectively, each based on the Single First Order Model. Therefore, the substance has been shown to be rapidly biodegradable under aerobic conditions. The experimentally-determined rapid degradation in soil is sufficient documentation for showing rapid degradation in surface water and sediment, in accordance with ECHA guidance (Guidance on the application of the CLP criteria, Version 3.0, November 2012, Section II.2.3.6, p. 498).
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.
