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.

Description of key information

ROC-601 was investigated for biodegradability “Determination of the aerobic ready biodegradability of ROC-601 in the CO2 Evolution Test following OECD 301B resp. EU C.4-C”.

The test item ROC-601 was tested using a concentration of nominally 20 mg organic carbon/L (corresponding to 28.9 mg ROC-601/L) in test medium following OECD 301B and EU-Method C.4-C.

Aniline was chosen as positive control. Activated sludge was used as inoculum (concentration in the test 25.0 mg dry matter/L). The test was left running for 28 days.

All validity criteria were met. Degradation of the positive control was 70 % after 9 days.

The following data were determined for the test item ROC-601:

- 10-day-window: day 9 – 19
- degradation at the end of 10-day-window 48 %
- degradation at the end of the test: 76 %

Therefore, when applying the 10-day-window, the test item ROC-601 is not readily biodegradable following OECD 301B/EU C.4-C. As degradation surpassed 60% in the course of the test, ROC-601 is considered as ultimately biodegradable within 28 days.
