- Reference substance:
- Ethanesulfonic acid, 2-(methylamino)-, N-coco acyl derivs., sodium salts
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
The PBT Assessment for this substance is based on the criteria set out in the “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT Assessment” (ECHA, 2012d).
Persistence
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate is readily biodegradable in one study according to OECD 301B (82% (CO2 evolution) after 28 d). Thus, the test substance does not meet the screening criterion for persistence and it is not considered to be P or vP.
Bioaccumulation
The bioaccumulation potential of Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate is expected to be low, based on the log kow < 3.
Toxicity
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate is considered as not toxic. In a study on the long-term toxicity of the substance to Daphnia magna a NOEC of 4 mg/L for reproduction was recorded. With regard to human health assessment, a substance is considered to fulfill the toxicity criterion (T) according to Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, if the substance is classified as carcinogenic (category 1 or 2), mutagenic (category 1 or 2), or toxic for reproduction (category 1, 2 or 3), or if there is evidence of chronic toxicity, as identified by the classifications: T, R48, or Xn, R48 according to Directive 67/548/EEC. As Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate is not classified for any of these endpoints, it is considered to be not T.
Reference
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.
