Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Ready biodegradability:
The test item was tested for biodegradability using the Manometric Respirometry test method according to OECD Guideline 301 F. The degradation process was followed by the oxygen uptake in the test solutions. After 28d a mean degradation
value of 2.8% of the test item was measured. Based on the results of a toxicity control (containing both the test item and a reference item) the test item can be considered as not inhibitory towards microorganisms at the concentration tested.
Regarding the results obtained within this study the test item may be considered "not readily biodegradable". The reference item sodium benzoate was degraded 91% within 28d. The threshold of >= 60% was met within 4.5d (71.5%) of incubation.
pH-values measured within all test solutions at times t0d and t28d were all in the required range of 6-8.5.
