Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Screening tests for biodegradation of Reactive Blue 203 and its structural analogues in water showed that the test item is not readily or inherently biodegradable. However, it is rapidly hydrolysed with a half-life of 2 to 6 days at pH 7. When Reactive Black 5 was applied to a sediment/water test system at a final concentration of 1 mg/kg, the test item was rapidly degraded. The DT50 of Reactive Black 5 was 2 days. After 3 to 6 days, only 10% of the applied Reactive Black 5 could be found. All metabolites decreased at the end of the test period to levels around the lower level of quantification. Consequently, an accumulation of metabolites could be excluded. The majority of the metabolites of Reactive Black 5 were deposited in form of non-extractable residues in sediment during test phase. After about 1 month, mineralization of the metabolites started.
Hence, it is expected that Reactive Blue 203 is rapidly removed from the environment by abiotic degradation and does not persist in the environment.
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.
