Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

- test substance is not biodegradable in this test

- in a dynamic bioelimination process (simulation test, aerobic sewage, coupled units test, OECD-guideline 303A, May 1981), the average elimination of the test substance was 83.8% of the initially measured concentration

- as the substance has been determined to be not biodegradable, the BOD was not determined in view of the other tests performed

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Interpretation of results:
other: not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The substance is not biodegradable in this test.
