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

The ready biodegradability was tested in a Manometric Respirometry Test. The criterion for ready biodegradability under the conditions of a manometric respirometry test is the 10-day window, describing the period between reaching at least 10% degradation and 60% degradation. This period should not exceed 10 days.

The mean biodegradation after 28 days of bis(2,3 -epoxypropyl)cyclohexane-1,2 -dicarboxylate was 53% (ThODNH4) and 94% after 60 days; the 10 day window criterion was not passed.

Whilst bis(2,3 -epoxypropyl)cyclohexane-1,2 -dicarboxylatecannot be considered to be readily biodegradable under the strict terms and conditions of OECD Guideline No. 301F, the evidence of aerobic degradation (94%) that did not plateau before the end of the 60-day indicate the potential for complete mineralisation in the environment.
