Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

This endpoint is covered by the category approach for dissociating, inorganic and non-toxic iron compounds (please see the section on physical and chemical properties for the category justification/report format).

Testing for this endpoint has been waived as it seems scientifically unjustified. Biodegradation as such is not a relevant endpoint for these inorganic substances. Environmental fate is dominated by abiotic and physico-chemical processes (speciation). The standard guideline tests are not appropriate and thus a waiving argument is provided.
