Description of key information
Sodium formate is readily biodegradable.
According to OECD Guidance, when a chemical attains more than 60% ThOD or more than 70% DOC removal in a Biodegradability in Seawater test (OECD 306) it can also be expected to fulfil the criteria for ready biodegradability, given that the degradation potential in seawater is normally lower than in freshwater degradation tests (OECD, 2002). Sodium formate achieved 86% degradation (ThOD) over 28 days in a reliable OECD 306 study and can therefore be regarded as readily biodegradable (KM Lab, 1998).
Additional information
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.
