Biodegradation in water: screening tests

Description of key information
The substance is readily biodegradable (according to OECD criteria).
This assessment is based on a Read-across approach to the shorter-chain FADMA C8-10 (67359-57-3, now handled under EC 909-125-3) and the longer-chain FADMA C12 (3007-53-2). As these both substances are readily biodegradable, and as the target substance FADMA C10 (14433-76-2) is structurally a close homolouge, having the same functional groups, it is justified to predict, that the target substance (14433-76-2) is readily biodegradable as well.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
The test substance itself (short name FADMA C10) has not been tested in the standard OECD 301 screening tests for biodegradation in water.
However, OECD 301-results are available for a 50:50 mixture of FADMA C8 and FADMA C10, demonstrating > 60 % ultimate biodegradation [28 d], as well as for FADMA C12 showing to be readily biodegradable in OECD 301 B, exhibiting 86 % ultimate biodegradation in 28 days and fulfilling the 10d window.
In addition (supporting information), a reliable guideline test with FADMA C10 for biodegradation in natural soil is available demonstrating very rapid, ultimate degradation (> 70 % [14C] CO2 in 4 days).
Taken all evidence together, it is concluded that FADMA C10 is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
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).
