Description of key information

Biodegradation in water: screening tests

Hydrocarbons, C14-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics has been tested in an OECD 301F (manometric respirometry) test conducted in compliance with GLP (Shell, 2014). The test substance attained 75% biodegradation in 28 days and was therefore considered to be readily biodegradable. The result is considered to be reliable and selected as key study.

Biodegradation in water: simulation tests

This substance is considered readily biodegradable.Therefore, in accordance with REACH Annex IX column 2 exemption, the simulation testing in surface water does not need to be conducted.

 

Biodegradation in sediment: simulation tests

This substance is considered readily biodegradable.Therefore, in accordance with REACH Annex IX column 2 exemption, the simulation testing in sediment does not need to be conducted.

 

Biodegradation in soil

This substance is considered to be readily biodegradable. Therefore, in accordance with REACH Annex IX column 2 exemption, simulation testing on ultimate degradation in soil does not need to be conducted.
