Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The key study Yoshikawa (1993) is a non-GLP study yet was conducted in accordance to the standardised guideline the OECD 301.C. The original full study report is in Japanese and has been translated into English. Sufficient details were reported to assess the quality of the submitted results; the study has been assigned a reliability score of 2 in line with the principles for assessing data quality as defined by Klimisch (1997).
The biodegradation of the test material was determined in a ready biodegradability (modified MITI Test (I)) performed according to the OECD guideline 301.C. Standard activated sludge was used as the source of microorganisms, and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) was continuously measured by closed system automatic measuring equipment of consumed oxygen.
Under the conditions of the study, the test material degraded by 74.4 % after 28 days and was determined to be readily biodegradable.
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.
