Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
OECD Guideline 301C, GLP, key study, validity 1:
-4% (by BOD) and -2% (by GC) biodegradation after 28 days;
Not readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
To assess the biodegradation potential of the registered substance, one experimental key study is available.
This study (Kurume, 2005) was performed on the registered substance according to OECD Guideline No. 301C with GLP compliance. A measured volume of inoculated mineral medium (suspended sludge concentration at 30 mg/L), containing a known concentration of test substance (100 mg/L) is stirred in a closed flask at a constant temperature (25 ± 1°C) for up to 28 days. Percentage biodegradation by BOD and determination of test item by gas chromatography (GC) were measured. Degradation of the reference substance (aniline) exceeds 40 % after 7 days and 65 % after 14 days, therefore the activity of the inoculum is verified and the test is considered valid. The percentage of biodegradation of the test substance by BOD is -4% and by GC is -2%. In conclusion, the test substance was not biodegraded by microorganisms under the present test conditions. The registered substance is not readily biodegradable.
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.
