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.

Description of key information

Additional information

A biodegradation study has been conducted on the registering substance. The substance fails to reach a degradation higher than 60% in 28 days, therefore cannot be considered as readily biodegradable; nevertheless the degradation curve is far from reaching a steady level, and it can be expected that biodegradation will just take longer, but it will be complete. To support the conclusion is also the estimation based on the molecular structure with the program (QSAR BIOWIN v4.10 which is appropriate for the assessment of ready biodegradability of the substance) which prevision is of ready biodegradability. In conclusion the substance will be considered as inherently biodegradable

Based on this conclusion, further exposure and risk assessment for environmental compartments like surface water bodies, sediments and soils is not required, according to the requirements of REACH.

Furthermore, according to ANNEX IX of REACH regulation n. 1907/2006, the biodegradation in sediment and soil could be waived if direct and indirect exposure is expected. Since in the normal use of the substance any water release is avoided, no concern is related to those compartments.
