Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 and sediment: simulation tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
The test substance is readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
2 -Aminoethanol is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
According to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex IX, Section 9.2.1.2, column 2, a simulation study on ultimate degradation in surface water does not need to be conducted as the substance is readily biodegradable.
According to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex IX, Section 9.2.1.4, Column 2, sediment simulation testing does not need to be conducted as the substance is readily biodegradable.
However a study on the biodegradability in river water is available. The study "14CO2 Production Test in River Water" (Procter and Gamble, 1993, WESTON study no. 92 -043) is supporting the results. The study was conducted with 14C-labelled substance similar to OECD309 but with restrictions. The ready degradation is confirmed by the results after 28 days with 80 +/- 1% and after 50 days with 86.9 +/- 8.3%.
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.
