Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Biodegradation in water: screening tests

Administrative data

Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Read-across was used. Hypothesis for the analogue approach: see files attached under section 13 assessment reports Read Across Justification. Test for source substance to biodegradation in water was performed according to OECD 301B and compliant with GLP.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The test substance is not readily biodegradable. The test substance (source substance) bis(hydrogenated tallow C16-C18-alkyl)hydroxylamine is a structurally very similar substance to target substance hydroxylamines, di-C16-18 (even numbered) alkyl. It can be reasonably assumed that target substance is also not readily biodegradable.
