Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is inorganic
Justification for type of information:
JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVINGAccording to column 2 of Annex VII (standard information requirements for substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 1 tonne or more per year) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 a study to determine ready biodegradability does not need to be conducted if the substance is inorganic. Lutetium-yttrium oxyorthosilicate, cerium doped is a stable inorganic compound which is manufactured by smelting of the underlying metal oxides. Due to the strictly inorganic character of the substance, a study to determine the ready biodegradability does not need to be conducted under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH).

Description of key information
