Description of key information
D-Glucopyranose, oligomers, decyl octyl glycosides (CAS: 68515-73-1) is biodegradable in a continuously operated test system simulating the activated sludge process according to OECD criteria (> 99.4% after 28 days) confirmed with a category member
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One confirmatory study investigating the biodegradability of the category member D-Glucopyranose, oligomeric, C10-16-alkyl glycosides (CAS: 110615-47-9) in a simulation test is available (Stelter, 1994a). The test, comparable to OECD Guideline 303A "Simulation Test - Aerobic Sewage Treatment - A: Activated Sludge Units", was conducted utilising domestic non-adapted activated sludge. The test substance degraded to >99.4% after 28 days based on the DOC. Conclusively, the test substance is biodegradable in a continuously operated test system simulating the activated sludge process under conditions tested according to OECD criteria. Based on the category approach the category member D-Glucopyranose, oligomers, decyl octyl glycosides (CAS: 68515-73-1) will be biodegradable in simulation testing as well.
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).
