Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests:
Data waiving: In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, these studies do not need to be conducted since the substance is readily biodegradable.

According to ECHA "Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria", metal compounds that contain an organic component but that dissociate easily in water or dissolve as the metal ion should be treated in the same way as metal compounds and classified according to this annex (e.g. zinc acetate).
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.
