Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The biodegradation of the test substance was >95% after 15 days. Therefore, the test substance is inherently biodegradable in the Zahn-Wellens test.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
Additional information
In order to assess the biotic degradation, a inherent biodegradability test was performed which allows the biodegradability to be measured in an aerobic medium. The inherent biodegradability was determined in the Zahn-Wellens test according to OECD 302B and ISO 9888, and in compliance with the OECD principles of Good Laboratory Practice. In the biodegradability tests, sludge was inoculated into a chemically defined liquid medium containing the test substance as sole carbon and energy source. The test compound is exposed to the inoculum, consisting of relatively low numbers of microorganisms from an activated sludge plant, under aerobic conditions. The biodegradation of the test substance was >95% after 15 days. Hence, the test substance is inherently biodegradable in the Zahn-Wellens test. The reference substance was degraded more than 70% after 14 days.
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.
