Description of key information

The substance is readily biodegradable (according to OECD criteria).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Based on a study similar to OECD TG 301D test (OECD SIDS, 2003) for 3 -aminopropyldimethylamine (CAS 109-55-7) the substance was determined to be readily biodegradable. The result is supported by the ready biodegradability of the structurally similar substance diethylaminopropylamine (CAS 104-78-9; BASF AG, 2005; report no. G0264/053110). 

According to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex IX, Section 9.2.1.2, column 2, a simulation study on ultimate degradation in surface water does not need to be conducted if the substance is readily biodegradable. The substance is readily biodegradable (see IUCLID Ch. 5.2.1). Therefore, no biodegradation studies in surface water will be provided.

According to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex IX, Section 9.2.1.4, Column 2, sediment simulation testing does not need to be conducted if the substance is readily biodegradable. The substance is readily biodegradable (see IUCLID Ch. 5.2.1). Therefore, no sediment simulation study will be provided.
