Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The provision for further testing and simulation testing for biotic degradation is contained within Column 1 of Section 9.2 of Annexes VII and IX of REACH. Column 2 of Section 9.2 each of these Annexes, describing the Specific Rules for Adaptation from Column 1, clarifies the requirement for testing and choice of test, and states:

"Further biotic degradation testing shall be proposed by the registrant if the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I indicates the need to investigate further the degradation of a substance and its degradation products. The choice of appropriate test(s) depends on the results of the chemical safety assessment".

The Registration substance (EC-202-228-8) is a monomer imported in a polymer and does not require full chemical safety assessment (comprising hazard assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterisation) under REACH. Ipso facto, in accordance with the Standard Information Requirements laid down by REACH (Annexes VII to X), further biotic degradation testing is not necessary.
