Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, 2-ethylhexyl ester, (2S)-

Hydrolysis

Administrative data

Endpoint:

hydrolysis

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable

Justification for type of information:

According to Annex VIII, point 9.2.2.1, column 2 of the REACH Regulation, a hydrolysis study does not need to be conducted if the substance is readily biodegradable or highly insoluble in water. 2-Ethylhexyl lactate was tested as readily biodegradable in a study according to OECD guideline 310C hence the conduct of a hydrolysis study is not considered to be required.
