Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
69
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
The 10 day window criterion is not fulfilled (13% biodegradation on day 2 and 58% on day 12).This should be attributed to the structure of the test substance; GR-86-0999 undergoes rapid, abiotic primary degradation (hydrolysis, isomerisation and decarboxylation) in the test conditions. Therefore the test substance is not viewed as a single substance by microorganisms. The products of the primary degradation are sequentially degraded, often by different microroganisms. The 10-Day window criterion should therefore not be used as a pass fail criterion, and , under these circumtances can be waived.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Thus, GR-86-0999 should be regarded as readily biodegradable according to this test.
