Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 test substance is readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions. The substance is used as positive control in biodegradation testing. Under anaerobic conditions the substance degrades rapidly to CO2 and methane (Birch, 1989).
As the substance is readily biodegradable, tests on degradation in water-sediment systems and in soil can be waived based on the criteria (rapid biodegradation) as indicated in column 2 (REACH Annex IX section 9.2.1.2 and 9.2.1.3).
Based on the LogKow (1.88, based on benzoic acid) a low potential for bioaccumulation of the test substance is expected.
In addition based on this low logKow the potential of the test substance to adsorp to sludge or soil is expected to be low. Therefore the studies for these endpoints are waived.
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.
