Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Not readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria and poorly eliminated from water.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
The inherent biodegradability of the test substance was determined in a guideline study according to OECD 302B (BASF AG 1985). In this study the TOC removal after 28 days was measured to be 0 %. Furthermore, a BOD5 study in which no oxygen consumption was measurable substantiates that the test item is not readily biodegradable (BASF AG 1985). Due to these results a GLP enhanced biodegradation test according to OECD 301B was perfomred using non-adapted acitvated sludge as inoculum (BASF 2012) in order to clarify whether the substance fulfills the persistence criteria or not. After 60 days of prolonged exposure no biodegradation was measured related to inorganic carbon analysis based on carbon dioxide evolution.
Hence, the substance is considered to be poorly biodegradable and also poorly eliminable in the environment. Therefore the substance is assumed to be persistent.
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.
