Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
The biodegradability of the test substance has been investigated in one ready and one inherent biodegradation study.
The ready biodegradation study was conducted according to OECD guideline 301 F and GLP (Feil, 2012). Non-adapted activated sludge, used as inoculum, was exposed to a loading of 104 mg/L test substance, corresponding to an oxygen demand of ca. 85 mg/L (COD). During the 28-day test period, no biodegradation occurred, based on oxygen consumption. The occurrence of nitrification was considered but not experimentally confirmed.
The inherent biodegradation study was conducted according to OECD guideline 302 B and GLP (Feil, 2012). Non-adapted activated sludge, used as inculum, was exposed to an initial test substance concentration of 50 mg DOC/L. During the 28-day test period no biodegradation occurred, based on DOC removal.
Hence, the test substance cannot be considered readily or 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.
