Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: screening test, other
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
1. SOFTWARE: VEGA

2. MODEL (incl. version number): Ready Biodegradability model (IRFMN) version 1.0.9

3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL: O=C(O)C(Cl)(Cl)Cl
The registered substance being unstable in water, the logKow of its main degradation product (i.e. trichloroacetic acid) has been assessed to support the waiving. The justification of the analogue approach is available in the attached document.

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
The model is based on the OECD 301C Modified MITI (I) Test data and provides a qualitative evaluation (binary classification) of ready biodegradability properties.
The QMRF is attached below.

5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
The applicability domain is available in the attached document below named "VegaNIC_doc_ModelGuide.pdf".

6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT
Ready biodegradability is a relevant information to determine the environmental classification according to the UN GHS and CLP.
