Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
In a reliable test (RL 1) on ready biodegradation (OECD 301 F) performed compliant to GLP the test item proved to be readiliy biodegradable, meetng the 10-day time window criterion.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
In a reliable test (reliability category 1) on ready biodegradation (OECD 301 F) performed compliant to GLP the test item proved to be readiliy biodegradable. The adaptation period was 15 days (10% degradation). Till day 25 83% and till day 28 86% biodegradation was attained (% O2 -consumption of the theoretical maximum).
In a Zahn-Wellens test performed similar or equivalent to OECD 302B the test item proved to be inherently biodegradable. 90% biodegradation based on DOC removal was reached within 15 days.
The conclusion on ready biodegradation is in principle in agreement with the conclusion drawn in the EU Risk Assessment Report. There, some older, partly not available or reliable studies are mentioned, which deliver ambigous results. In one report, high degradation rates where only achieved with adapted inoculum. As the key study used unadapted inoculum from a municipal STP it is concluded that the substance is ready biodegradable also under conditions of a municipal STP.
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.
