Description of key information

readily biodegradable (86% in 28 d; OECD 306; Na formate; KM Lab, 1998)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In accordance with column 2 of Annex IX, the study on simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water does not need to be conducted if the substance is readily biodegradable. The substance is already tested to be readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria. Hence, no further testing on biodegradation e. g. in water or sediment is performed.
