Biodegradation in soil
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- biodegradation in soil: simulation testing
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable
- Transformation products:
- not specified

Description of key information
In accordance with column 2 of REACH (Regulation 1907/2006/EC) Annex IX, a simulation test in soil does not need to be conducted as the substance is readily biodegradable. The half-life in soil of 30 days is therefore as a worst-case be based on the default half-lives for (Bulk) soil according to REACH guidance R.16 using the observed Koc of 1451 L/kg.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in soil:
- 30 d
- at the temperature of:
- 12 °C
Additional information
Based on the available studies on biodegradation and read across to Coco fatty acids 2-sulfoethyl ester, sodium salt, SLI is considered to be readily biodegradable.
The 10-days-window criterion does not need to be evaluated as Coco fatty acids 2-sulfoethyl ester, sodium salt is a UVCB.
There is therefore no requirement for performing a soil biodegradation test (Annex IX. 9.2.1.3). No simulation tests for degradation rates under environmental conditions have been performed for the test substance, therefore for the default value suggested by REACH guidance R.16 is used. For 14C-Lauryl 2 -sulfoethyl ester a Koc of 1451 L/kg was observed which corresponds with a Kp soil of 29 L/kg. The default half-life in soil is therefore 30 days.
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).
