Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- biodegradation in water: sediment simulation testing
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because direct and indirect exposure of sediment is unlikely
- Transformation products:
- not measured

Description of key information
The performance of simulation tests for biodegradation in water and sediment is scientifically unjustified. REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex IX, Sect. 9.2.1.4., Col. 2, states as follows: “9.2.1.4: The study need not to be conducted: - if the substance is readily biodegradable, or - if direct and indirect exposure of sediment is unlikely. ” Direct and indirect exposure of the test item to water and sediment is unlikely. Due to the rapid hydrolysis it can be assumed that upon contact with water, the test item undergoes rapid degradation within minutes resulting in the formation of respective degradation products. In addition the low n-octanol-water partition coefficient of the test item (log Kow=2.92, calculated using EPIWIN, KOWWIN v1.68) indicates a low adsortion potential and a low dwell time of the test item in soil and thus a low exposure. Therefore simulation testing for biodegradation in water and sediment was considered not scientifically justified.

Additional information
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.
