Administrative data

PBT assessment: overall result

PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

The criteria given in the “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, chapter R.11: PBT Assessment” (ECHA, 2014) are used as information to decide whether Lauric acid ester with hydroxypropanediyl diacetate (CAS 30899-62-8) fulfils the PBT or vPvB criteria.

Persistence Assessment

Based on the available data, Lauric acid ester with hydroxypropanediyl diacetate (CAS 30899-62-8) is considered to be readily biodegradable based on experimental data. Thus, the substance does not meet the screening criterion for persistence and is not considered to be P or vP.

 

Bioaccumulation Assessment

The bioaccumulation potential of Lauric acid ester with hydroxypropanediyl diacetate is expected to be low. This assumption is based on a low bioavailability of the substances due to its ready biodegradability. Furthermore, the substance is rapidly metabolised and excreted by organisms and thus significant accumulation is not expected. This is supported by calculated low BCF/BAF values of 0.913 - 12.3 (BCF: Arnot-Gobas estimate, upper trophic) and 0.914 - 12.3L/kg (BAF: Arnot-Gobas estimate, upper trophic), respectively. Please refer to IUCLID section 5.3 for a detailed overview on bioaccumulation of the substance. Thus, taking all information into account, the target substance is not considered to be B or vB.

 

Toxicity Assessment

Aquatic toxicity data for the assessment of Lauric acid ester with hydroxypropanediyl diacetate (CAS 30899-62-8) were taken from a structurally similar source substance. Long-term toxicity testing with aquatic algae and aquatic invertebrates resulted in no effects up to the limit of water solubility. All available short-term toxicity data did not result in any toxicity up to the water solubility limit as well. Moreover, the substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) considering Regulation (EU) No 605/2014 (6th ATP). Thus, given in the “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, chapter R.11: PBT Assessment” (ECHA, 2014) are not met and the substance is not considered to meet the T criterion.
