Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
1-phenylethyl acetate has been tested for ready biodegradability. It achieved >60 % biodegradation after 28 days and passed the 10 day window criterion in two standardised biodegradation tests. Therefore it is regarded as readily biodegradable and will not persist in the environment.
Further biotic degradation testing has not been conducted.
In accordance with REACH, Annex IX, column 2, simulation tests in surface water, sediment and soil are not considered necessary since 1-phenylethyl acetate is readily biodegradable. In these circumstances, simulation tests will provide little additional information since rapid mineralisation in the environment is already assumed.
Identification and/or the assessment of degradation products is not required as 1-phenylethyl acetate is readily biodegradable. In these circumstances, it may be considered that any degradation products formed during such degradation would themselves be sufficiently rapidly degraded as not to require further assessment.
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.
