Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water or sediment simulation testing is not required due to the predicted ready biodegradability of the substance and the low potential for adsorption to sediment.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Isobutyl-R-lactate is predicted to be readily biodegradable. According to Annex IX, column 2, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 a study on "simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water or sediment simulation testing" does not have to be conducted if "the substance is readily biodegradable". Furthermore, it is concluded that the test item does not have a high potential for adsorption to sediment. According to Annex IX columns 1 and 2 of the Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, sediment simulation testing is therefore not required.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
