Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
One experimental study investigating the biodegradation of docosyl docosanoate (CAS 17671-27-1) is available.
The study was performed according to OECD 301C (GLP) under aerobic conditions using a mixture of activated sludge from STP with freshwater from rivers and lakes, marine water and marine sediment as inoculum with a test substance concentration of 100 mg/L (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan, 1992). The degradation in one replicate was below the pass level (51.56%). However, the mean biodegradation based on BOD was > 70% after 28 days. Moreover, the primary degradation measured by HPLC was 83, 74 and 100% in the three test vessels supports the assumption that the substance is readily biodegradable according to the OECD criteria.
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.
