Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water
Data waiving:
other justification
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable
Transformation products:
no
Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: sediment simulation testing
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable
Justification for type of information:
In accordance with REACH Annex IX column 2, the study need not be conducted as the material is readily biodegradable. In these circumstances, simulation tests will provide little additional information since rapid mineralisation in the environment is already assumed.
Transformation products:
no

Description of key information

Data not required as substance is readily biodegradable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The substance, Cyclamen Aldehyde has been shown to be readily biodegradable and, according to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, it is unnecessary to perform surface water or sediment simulation tests for substances that are readily biodegradable. Since the substance is readily biodegradable simulation tests will provide little additional information as rapid mineralisation in the environment is already assumed. The identification of degradation products is also not required.
