Biodegradation in water: screening tests

Hydrocarbons, C15-C19, n-alkanes, isoalkanes <2% aromatics has been tested in an OECD 301F (manometric respirometry) test conducted in compliance with GLP (Shell, 2014). The test substance attained 73% biodegradation in 28 days and was therefore considered to be readily biodegradable.

 

Biodegradation in water: simulation tests

This substance is considered readily biodegradable.Therefore, in accordance with REACH Annex IX column 2 exemption, the simulation testing in surface water does not need to be conducted.

 

Biodegradation in sediment: simulation tests

This substance is considered readily biodegradable. Therefore, in accordance with REACH Annex IX column 2 exemption, the simulation testing in sediment does not need to be conducted.

 

Biodegradation in soil

This substance is considered to be readily biodegradable. Therefore, in accordance with REACH Annex IX column 2 exemption,simulation testing on ultimate degradation in soil does not need to be conducted.
