Description of key information

The substance is considered as readily biodegradable, therefore further studies on the biodegradation in water and sediment are not provided.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
[Specific explanation in addition to field 'Justification for data waiving']
According to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex IX, Sections 9.2.1.2 and 9.2.1.4 column 2, a simulation study on ultimate degradation in surface water and sediment does not need to be conducted if the substance is readily biodegradable. The substance is readily biodegradable (see IUCLID Ch. 5.2.1). Therefore, further testing on biodegradation in surface water and sediment is not provided.
