Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
1) The percentage microbial degradation of the reference item, sodium benzoate, observed by BOD meter was 91.4% after 7 days and 99.9% after 14 days. Thus, these values were within the acceptable range (exceeds than 40% after 7 days and 65% after 14 days) specified by the OECD guidelines and the National Institute of Environmental Research Guidelines.
2) BOD concentration of the inoculurn blank (Bottle 6) after 28 days was 8.4 mg02/L (Table 3). This value was met OECD specifications (less than 60 mg0 2/L).
3) The pH values of test suspension (Bottle 2, 3, 4) after 28 days were 7. 1. These pH value was within the acceptable range (6.0∼8. 5) specified by the OECD guidelines.
4) The percentage microbial degradation of the test item was based on the theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD) which was calculated from the molecular formula and the molecular weight. The percentage microbial degradation of the test item was 7.3 ± 0.7%. This result was not met OECD pass level of biodegradability (60 % ofThOD).

Therefore, the test item (SEZ-250) can be regarded as not readily degradable by microorganisms under the test conditions.
