Additional information
A study was performed to assess the ready biodegradability of the test substance according to OECD 301D, in compliance with GLP. The substance was weighed onto a glass fibre filter. The filter was then transferred to individual BOD bottles to which test medium was added to achieve a concentration of 2 mg/L. Since the test substance was water insoluble, actual concentrations were dependent on addition of neat test material to individual BOD bottles, and ranged from 2.00 to 4.67 mg/L. The test substance was biodegraded to 62.6% after 28 d. Since aniline, the positive control material, exceeded the pass level by degrading to 92.2%, this test can be considered valid. Under the study conditions, the test substance was considered to be readily biodegradable (Lee C, 1992).
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.
