Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
In two separate studies the test substance was found to have: 8 % degradation after 28 d in ready biodegradability study; 0% degradation after 28 d in inherent biodegradability study. The substance is not inherently biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
The test substance attained only 8% biodegradation after 28 days and cannot, therefore, be termed as readily biodegradable. Oxygen depletion in the inoculated and non-inoculated control series were essentially within the prescribed limits. The limit was slightly exceeded in the non-inoculated dilution water on Day 28, but this is not considered to have a significant influence on the results or conclusions of the test for ready biodegradability.
Within the inherent biodegradibility study, the cultures incubated at 22 ± 2ºC for 28 days under continuous aeration with CO2-free air. Percentage biodegradation values were calculated through comparing the amount of carbon trapped with the amount of carbon added to the vessel at the start of the study. The test substance attained 0% biodegradation at 20 mg/L after 28 days. Therefore, it may not be termed as inherently biodegradable.
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.
