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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Readily biodegradable in an OECD 301 B test reaching 100% mineralisation based on CO2 evolution after 18 days at 62 mg/l.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
Three studies are available on ready biodegradability or similar. All three studies document significant mineralisation of the test material of > 60% after 20 to 28 days. No inhibition of degradation was observed for the toxicity control. In the OECD 301B study, the pass level of 60% was reached 10 days after the degradation has started. Ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate is therefore concluded to be readily biodegradable and to be rapidly mineralised if emitted to a sewage treatment plant or to surface water.
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.
