Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The substance is inherently biodegradable showing biodegradation after a prolonged exposure period and a prolonged lag phase.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Summing up the available experimental screening test data and calculated data (see IUCLID chapter 5.2.1), 3 -API is concluded via weight-of-evidence approach to be inherently biodegradable showing biodegradation after a prolonged exposure period and a prolonged lag phase. These data are used considering data waiving according to EC no. 1907/2006 Annex XI section 1.

In addition, 3 -API a low potential for adsorption (see IUCLID chapter 5.4.1) indicating a low potential for adsorption to sediment.

 

Therefore, no further tests on biodegradation simulation tests: “ultimate degradation in surface water” and “sediment simulation tests” are performed.
