Description of key information

In accordance with REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/206, Annex IX, Section 9.2.1.2 for substances manufactured above 100 tpa, an Aerobic Mineralization in Surface Water- Simulation Biodegradation test  is proposed for Di-Pentaerythritol.

 

According to REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/206, Annex IX, Sections 9.2.1.4, simulation testing for the sediment is only suggested for substances that have a potential for adsorption to sediment. For Annex VI and XI substances a high potential to absorb is classified as a Log Kow of >5 or a Log Koc of >3. The substance has a log Kow of -1.8 (Log Koc not available), and therefore is not deemed to be highly adsorptive substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In accordance with REACH Annex XI, based on available data, the substance is not classified as hazardous for the environment. Therefore degradation simulation testing in water and/or sediment does not need to be conducted.
