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.

Two valid ready biodegradability test results (GLP main test (key study), non-GLP pre test with 112 days test duration (supporting study)) for etherdiamine C12-14. Etherdiamine C12-14 is extremely toxic to micro-organisms. Etherdiamine C12-14 did not cause a reduction in the endogenous respiration in the presence of 2 mg/L of humic acid in the main test. Etherdiamine C12-14 was biodegraded 9% (based on ThODNO3) at day 28 in the Closed Bottle test. In the prolonged Closed Bottle test (enhanced biodegradability testing) a biodegradation percentage of 41% (based on ThODNO3) was achieved at day 60.  Since biodegradation percentages between 20% and 60% were reached within 60 days, this substance should be classified as not persistent. Within a second screening test according to OECD 301D the test was prolonged to 112 days and after 112 days 60% biodegradation (based on ThODNO3, with 2 mg/L humic acid) was observed indicating that the substance is ultimately biodegradable and based on these results not considered to be persistent in the aquatic compartment.
