Description of key information

Waiving of study:

Sediment simulation testing:

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, sediment simulation testing (required in section 9.2.1.4) does not need to be conducted if direct or indirect exposure to sediments does not have to be expected. In general, as shown in IUCLID section 4.8, the water solubility of Olaflur is very good, the log Pow (IUCLID section 4.7) is clearly below 3, indicating that the substance has no bioaccumulation properties. Consequently, bioaccumulation in the environment does not have to be expected. Furthermore, the substance can be classified as ready biodegradable.

Biodegradation in water: simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water (required in section 9.2.1.2) does not need to be conducted if the substance is readily biodegradable. According to the available data with the read across substance (CAS 90367-27-4), Olaflur is considered to be readily biodegradable (IUCLID chapter 5.2.1), thus the study is scientifically not neccessary.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
