Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The biodegradability of cis-cycloocten was evaluated by Hüls (1996) and Hüls (1998) . Both results indicate that this substance is not ready biodegradable. However the study conducted by Hüls AG (1996) showed a 28% degradation after 28 days. Therefore, althouhg not ready biodegradable according to the guideline requirements, the Z-cyclooctene can be metabolized by microorganism.
On the other hand, it is highly improbale that Z-cyclooctene reach the water, the soil or sediments in significant amounts since it is manufactured and used under dry conditions in closed systems. Even in case that the substance would reach the environment, the Mackay level I calculations indicate that soil and water/sediment systems are not the target compartment since the substance wouldbe distributed to the atmosphere at > 99%. Furthermore the substance fulfills the Biowin criteria stated by ECHA for not persistent substances.
Therefore, for all the reasons stated above, although the substance is not ready biodegradable, it is not expected to accumulate on 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.
