Description of key information

Not required for environmental fate assessment; submission item and its transformation products rapidly, readily and finally ultimately biodegradable; due to short half-lifes in waters and sediments no impact to the environment

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental data on biodegradation in water and sediment determined in simulation tests are available and testing, required in Annex IX, column 1, sections 9.2.1.2. and 9.2.1.4. and identification of degradation products, required in Annex IX, column 1, section 9.2.3, have been waived in accordance with column 2 restrictions as the submission item is readily biodegradable.

Further data are not necessary for the environmental fate assessment. The submission item and its transformation products are expected rapidly, readily and finally ultimately biodegradable. Due to short half-lifes in waters and sediments they will have no impact to the environment.
