Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water
Type of information:
experimental study planned
Justification for type of information:
From the existing information, the substance cannot be regarded as ultimately biodegradable. Further information is needed for the PBT/vPvB assessment. An Aerobic Mineralization in Surface Water- Simulation Biodegradation test (OECD 309)  is proposed for the substance, as water compartment is considered the worst case due to it's expected to have the lowest NER.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 309 (Aerobic Mineralisation in Surface Water - Simulation Biodegradation Test)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)

Description of key information

The percentage DOC reduction measured after 28 days (at day 29) in both test mediums TI and TII was 11% after correction for the DOC contribution from the inoculum.  1,3-propanediol, 2,2- bis(hydroxymethyl) -, allyl ether therefore cannot be regarded as ultimately biodegradable. Further information is needed for the PBT/vPvB assessment. An Aerobic Mineralization in Surface Water- Simulation Biodegradation test (OECD 309)  is proposed for the substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
