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 ready biodegradability of DV6850 was assessed in the CO2 Evolution Test (Modified Sturm Test) in accordance with Procedure C.4-C of the Annex to Directive 92/69/EEC. In addition, the biodegradability of DV6850 in seawater of DV6850 was assessed in two tests according to OECD Method 306.

In the readily biodegradability test, 62% degradation was achieved at the end of the 10 -day window and DV6850 can be considered to be readily biodegradable. In the test for biodegradability in seawater, DV6850 achieved about 45% degradation at the end of both of the tests and can therefore not be regarded as biodegradable in seawater under the test conditions. The methods used to assess the biodegradability of the test substance in seawater are not tests for biodegradability since no inoculum is added in addition to the micro-organisms already present in seawater. Neither do the tests simulate the marine environment since nutrients are added and the concentration of the test substance is very much higher than would be present in the sea. For these reasons, the results of the biodegradability tests in seawater are not further considered and the substance is regarded to be readily biodegradable.

No information on biodegradation in sediment and soil is available.
