Description of key information

No data on biodegradation in sediment are available. The study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The test item is readily biodegradable (cf. chapter 5.2.1). In Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that the study on sediment simulation testing does not need to be conducted if the substance is readily biodegradable.
