Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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)
- Endpoint:
- biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is inorganic
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
The substance strontium diacetate is composed of two ions : Sr2+ ion and acetate ion.
Strontiun ion is inorganic, consequently according to the § 9.2.1.1. in column 2, annex VII of REACH the study does not need to be conducted. Only the organic part (acetate) is relevant.
Acetate ion is part of a substance (sodium acetate) considered as readily biodegradable since it is used as control substance in OECD tests. This susbtance have been used in several studies in biodegradability test method development and have been identified as readily biodegradable. The report attached (MCC report 007) summaries the pratical experience on sodium acetate and is based on different references (Nyholm 1996 ; O’Malley 2006 ; Baginska 2015 ; Andreja Žgajnar Gotvajn 1996).
Consequently the substance is considered as readily biodegradable.

Consequently the substance is considered as readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
- Type of water:
- freshwater
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.
