Additional information

Based on the test results of an OECD 301 study conducted with Fatty acids, C8-10, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS No. 649747-80-8), the test substance can be regarded as readily biodegradable. The substance is thus expected to be rapidly degraded by microorganisms in both the aquatic and terrestrial environments, therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, 9.2.1.2 – 9.2.1.4, further simulation testing for water and sediment or soil biodegradation tests are not necessary.
