Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
A study is planned to assess the biodegradation in water endpoint.
The biodegradation in sediment endpoint has been waived because adsorption studies indicate a very low potential for the test substance to adsorb to sediment, sludge or soil and therefore exposure to sediment organisms is considered unlikely (Log Kow of -1.32, a Koc of <17.8 and a Log Koc of <1.25). Annex IV states simulation testing for sediments is only required for substances with a high potential for absorption to the sediment. No exposure to the environment is anticipated from the use of the ink product. Within the European Union, the Registrant offers a returns programme for their ink printers, empty ink cartridges and larger ink systems used in commercial printing. The Registrant offers an EU-wide take back programme and repurposing programme for 200 L barrels and 1000 L totes. No further testing is required on the basis of a low potential for exposure of the test substance to the sediment environment. No further testing is required.

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.
