The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

Key study, OECD 301F, GLP, 2017, Klimisch 1:


The Ready Biodegradability of GR-86-6599 was determined by the Manometric Respirometry Test.


 


GR-86-6599 did not inhibit the intrinsic respiration of the inoculum at the test concentration and was therefore considered to be non-toxic to the inoculum at the test concentration.


 


GR-86-6599 undergoes 62% biodegradation after 28 days in the test conditions.The 10-day window criterion is not fulfilled (11% biodegradation on day 4 and 41% on day 14).The 10-day time window criterion was developed on the assumption that a test substance is degraded according to a “standard” growth curve in ready biodegradability tests. The OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Section 3. Part 1: Principles and strategies related to the testing of degradation of organic chemicals (adopted 23 March 2006), states that if a substance consists of “constituents with different chain-lengths, degree and/or site of branching or stereo-isomers, even in their most purified commercial forms” and “it is anticipated that a sequential biodegradation of the individual structures is taking place, then the 10-day window should not be applied to interpret the results of the test.” The 10-day time-window should therefore not be applied as a pass / fail criterion forGR-86-6599, which is a mixture of isomers.


 


As such, the test item is considered Readily Bidoegradable.


 


Supporting study, OECD 301F, not GLP, 2015, Klimisch 2:


The Ready Biodegradability of GR-86-6599 was determined by the Manometric Respirometry Test according to the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Method No. 301 F.


 


GR-86-6599 undergoes 70% biodegradation after 28 days (84% after 61 days) in the test conditions. The 10-day window criterion is not fulfilled (14% biodegradation on day 4 and 49% on day 14). However, according to the Revised Introduction to the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Section 3, Part 1, clause 43, 2006 the 10-day window criterion should not be applied to interpret the results of the test in the case a mixture of structurally similar chemicals is tested. Accordingly, as GR-86-6599 is a mixture of E/Z isomer and other structurally similar isomers, the 10-day window criterion should not be applied here.


 


Thus, GR-86-6599 should be regarded as readily biodegradable according to this test.


 


GR-86-6599 did not inhibit the intrinsic respiration of the inoculum at the test concentration.
