Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Benoxacor was shown not to be readily biodegradable, according to a study conducted under the conditions of an OECD 301F test.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
The key study (Wallace, 2002) investigated the ready biodegradability of benoxacor (CGA154281) in water. This GLP-compliant study is considered to be reliable without restrictions. The ready biodegradability of benoxacor was determined using the OECD 301F method. Using activated sludge as the test inoculum, the percent biodegradation of benoxacor was less than 5% indicating that the material was not readily biodegradable. Reference substance (sodium acetate) incubated in the same sludge showed a percentage biodegradation between 68 and 78% showing that the test inoculum contained viable organisms.
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.
