Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

According to REACH Annex XI, point 2, the guidance given in the test methods referred to in Article 13(3), more specifically on the technical limitations of a specific method, shall always be respected. The test guidelines relevant for biological degradation in surface water and/or water-sediment systems are OECD 308 and 309 (and their counterparts in EU Regulation 440/2008). The applicability of these test methods is explicitly restricted to organic chemicals. Therefore, as an inorganic compound, Hexagonal boron nitride falls outside the technical feasibility domain of biological degradation testing.
