Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Not readily biodegradable (according to OECD criteria); moderately/partly biodegradable
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In the key study (Ciba-Geigy, 1985), the ready biodegradability of the test item was assessed over a 28 day period by the modified Sturm test (OECD 301B). The nominal test concentrations were 10 and 20 mg a.s./L. The test material attained up to 42 and 46 % biodegradation after 28 days whereas the positive control substance (Aniline) was 100 % degraded 28 days. Therefore, the test substance is not readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria. it is moderately/partly biodegradable.
The Chemical Oxygen Demand of the test item was determined to be 1.86 g COD/g.
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.
