Additional information

According to Annex VII, Section 9.2.1.1, Column 2 of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, a study on ready biodegradability does not need to be conducted if the substance is inorganic. Degradation/biodegradation testing is not relevant for metals and metal compounds, like vanadylhydrogenphosphate-hemihydrate (CAS no. 93280-40-1), which are considered as not (bio)degradable.
