Description of key information

Biodegradation in water: screening tests

There is no data available for this substance. However, key data is available for structural analogues, Hydrocarbons, C12-C16, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics; Hydrocarbons, C14-C16, n-alkanes, <2% aromatics; Hydrocarbons, C14-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics; Hydrocarbons, C14-C18, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics; and Hydrocarbons, C15-C19, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics and presented in the dossier. The data is read across to this substance based on analogue read across and a discussion and report on the read across strategy is provided as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.

 

Biodegradation in water: simulation tests

There is no data available for this substance. However, key data is available for structural analogue, Hydrocarbons, C14-C18, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics and is presented in the dossier. This data is read across to this substance based on analogue read across and a discussion and report on the read across strategy is provided as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13. Based on this data, this substance is considered to be biodegradable in natural seawater samples.

 

Biodegradation in sediment: simulation tests

This substance is considered readily biodegradable. Therefore, in accordance with REACH Annex IX column 2 exemption, the simulation testing in sediment does not need to be conducted.

 

Biodegradation in soil

This substance is considered to be readily biodegradable. Therefore, in accordance with REACH Annex IX column 2 exemption, simulation testing on ultimate degradation in soil does not need to be conducted.
