Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

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.

Reference
Endpoint:
bioaccumulation in aquatic species: fish
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model, but not (completely) falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
QSAR prediction from a well-known and acknowledged tool. See below under ‘attached background
material section’ for QMRF and QPRF including domain evaluation.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: REACH guidance on QSARs: Chapter R.6. QSARs and grouping of chemicals
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Since the test substance is a UVCB, the bioaccumulation (BCF) values were estimated for the individual substances representative of the major components. Considering the structures of test substance, the regression-based equations as well as the Arnot-Gobas BAF-BCF methodology were used for the BCF predictions.
Details on estimation of bioconcentration:

Arnot-Gobas BCF & BAF Methods (including biotransformation rate estimates):
Estimated Log BCF (upper trophic) = 1.045 (BCF = 11.09 L/kg wet-wt)
Estimated Log BAF (upper trophic) = 1.045 (BAF = 11.09 L/kg wet-wt)
Estimated Log BCF (mid trophic) = 1.174 (BCF = 14.94 L/kg wet-wt)
Estimated Log BAF (mid trophic) = 1.180 (BAF = 15.14 L/kg wet-wt)
Estimated Log BCF (lower trophic) = 1.214 (BCF = 16.38 L/kg wet-wt)
Estimated Log BAF (lower trophic) = 1.343 (BAF = 22.02 L/kg wet-wt)

Arnot-Gobas BCF & BAF Methods (assuming a biotransformation rate of zero):
Estimated Log BCF (upper trophic) = 4.305 (BCF = 2.016e+004 L/kg wet-wt)
Estimated Log BAF (upper trophic) = 6.286 (BAF = 1.93e+006 L/kg wet-wt)

Conclusions:
The BCF value for the overall test substance is predicted to range from 0.9 to 369 L/kg ww.
Executive summary:

The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of the test substance was estimated using the regression-based and/or Arnot-Gobas BAF-BCF methodology of the BCFBAF v3.01 program (EPI SuiteTM v4.11). Since the test substance is a UVCB with similar constituents varying mainly in carbon chain lengths, the BCF values were estimated for the individual components followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value using the mole fractions of all the individual components. SMILES codes were used as the input parameter for the BCF value estimation for the individual constituents. The BCF range for the constituents of test substance were from 3.16 to 1960 L/kg ww with the weighted average BCF value of 171.34 L/kg ww using regression-based method and from 0.9 to 369 L/kg ww with the weighted average BCF value of 22.86 L/kg ww using Arnot Gobas method. Considering that the BCF predictions for the non-ionic constituents from Arnot-Gobas method takes into account mitigating factors, like growth dilution and metabolic biotransformations, the BCF value from this model has been taken into consideration for the risk assessment. Therefore, the BCF value for the overall test substance is predicted to range from 0.9 to 369 L/kg ww. Overall, taking into consideration that the BCF prediction for not all the constituents of test substance using BCFBAF model of EPI SuiteTM are within domain, the model’s training set, validation set statistics and the fact that the training set only contains 61 ionic compounds, the BCF predictions for the individual constituents are considered to be reliable with moderate confidence. Therefore, the BCF value for the overall test substance is predicted to range from 0.9 to 369 L/kg ww (US EPA, 2020).
