Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Experimental data on the biodegradation in soil of Amines polyethylenepoly (PEPA) are not available. Based on the screening tests on biodegradability (5.2.1) it is expected that PEPA is not biodegraded. Co-metabolic degradation may however occur in soils. In accordance with Annex IX, column 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, biodegradation tests in soil do not need to be conducted as the Chemical Safety Assessment does not indicate a need for further investigations. According to Annex XI, Section 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 biodegradation testing in soil is deemed not necessary. The environmental exposure assessment for PEPA (CAS 68131-73-7) indicates no risk for the terrestrial compartment (all RCR< 1; please refer to Chapter 9 and 10 of the Chemical Safety Report for detailed information).
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.
