Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Using a read-across approach based on existing data for the structurally analagous substance SMCT, the registration (target) substance SMLT is considered to be readily biodegradable.
Additional information
BIODEGRADATION IN WATER: SCREENING TEST
The source substance sodium methyl cocoyl taurate (SMCT) was found to be readily biodegradable in an OECD 301B CO2 Evolution, achieving 82% ultimate degradation after 28d. Using a read-across approach the registration (target) substance SMLT is therefore also considered readily biodegradable (full read-across justification provided in a dedicated report attached to section 13)
BIODEGRADATION IN SEDIMENT
Based on read-across to the source substance SMCT, the registered target substance SMLT is considered to be readily biodegradable. Therefore, in accordance with Column 2 of Annex IX and the specific rules for adaptation, simulation testing on ultimate degradation of SMLT in surface water or sediment is not required (ECHA guidance R7b; Version 4; June 2017).
BIODEGRADATION IN SOIL
Based on read-across to the source substance SMCT, the registered target substance SMLT is considered to be readily biodegradable. Therefore, in accordance with Column 2 of Annex IX and the specific rules for adaptation, simulation testing on ultimate degradation of SMLT in soil not required (ECHA guidance R7b; Version 4; June 2017).
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.
