Justification for type of information:

ESTING PROPOSAL ON VERTEBRATE ANIMALS
[Please provide information for all of the points below. The information should be specific to the endpoint for which testing is proposed. Note that for testing proposals addressing testing on vertebrate animals under the REACH Regulation this document will be published on the ECHA website along with the third party consultation on the testing proposal(s).]

NON-CONFIDENTIAL NAME OF SUBSTANCE:

CONSIDERATIONS THAT THE SPECIFIC ADAPTATION POSSIBILITIES OF ANNEXES VI TO X (AND COLUMN 2 THEREOF) OF THE REACH REGULATION ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO GENERATE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION:
The substance itself or its transformation products identified based in the findings in the publication of Werber can be considered as soluble in water. Additionally, findings in the screening tests for biodegradation showed limited degradation under test conditions only, and therefore neither the substance nor (all) transformation products can be considered as readily biodegradable. These conclusions are supported by estimations on biodegradation using the OECD QSAR Toolbox.

FURTHER INFORMATION ON TESTING PROPOSAL IN ADDITION TO INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MATERIALS AND METHODS SECTION:
- Details on study design / methodology proposed [if relevant]
The study should be performed at 12 °C in line with the guidance documents. Based on the findings and estimations regarding the partition coefficient of the substance and its transformation products as well as the identified use pattern a relevant exposure of the sediment and/or soil is considered to be unlikely. Therefore, only simulation testing in surface water is proposed.
