Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
Please refer to attached justification for read across.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Preliminary study:
None reported - test conducted on a suspension of test substance at the maximum test concentration 100 mg/L
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
0
Sampling time:
28 d
Parameter:
% degradation (test mat. analysis)
Value:
0 - 1
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
Day 0 - test substance was observed to be a suspension in the test solution (water + test substance and sludge + test substance)
Day 28 - test substance was observed to be a suspension in the test solution (water + test substance)
Day 28 - test substance was observed to be a suspension in the test solution and no growth of sludge occurred
Results with reference substance:
95% degradation observed for aniline after Day 28

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
54% and 81% degradation of positive control on days 7 and 14 respectively
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
The test substance was not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the test.

Description of key information

The test substance, T-12, an analogue of the registered substance T-13h, was not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the test.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed

Additional information

The determination of ready biodegradability was performed by Kurume Research Laboratories (1993, Report No.: S92 -2309). The ready biodegradability was determined according to OECD Method 301 C was considered to be reliable. T-12 was found not to be readily biodegradable. T-12 is an analogue of T-13h and is considered suitable for read across. A detailed justification for read across from T-12 to T-13h, considering the overall properties and composition of the two substances, is given in section 13 (Assessment reports) of this dossier, . T-12 is a mixture of 6 diastereoisomer pairs (isomer B, C, D, E, F) and T-13h is a mixture comprising two of the diastereoiosmer pairs (D, F).
