Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Classification & Labelling & PBT assessment

PBT assessment

Administrative data

PBT assessment: overall result

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

8.1.2. PBT/vPvB criteria and justification

Persistence (P) Assessment:

A substance is not considered to be persistent if it can be demonstrated that it has potential to degrade (via photolysis, hydrolysis and/or biodegradation)

The substance is readily to inherently biodegradable and therefore based on initial persistence screening is not expected to meet the Persistent (P) or very Persistent (vP) criteria.

Bioaccumulation (B) Assessment:

An evaluation of representative hydrocarbon structures indicates no structures meet the Bioaccumulative (B) or very Bioaccumulative (vB) criteria (CONCAWE 2010).

Therefore, based on the screening criteria for bioaccumulation stipulated in the ECHA’s Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment - Part C: PBT Assessment (2008), hydrocarbons, C13-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics is considered unlikely to be bioaccumulative.

Toxicity (T) Assessment:

Environmental Toxicity:
No representative structures were identified as PBT or vPvB, therefore a toxicity assessment is not needed. Additionally, none of the measured or calculated data for hydrocarbons, C13-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics is within the criteria for toxicity stipulated in the ECHA’s Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment - Part C: PBT Assessment (2008). Therefore this substance is not considered toxic (T).

 

Human Health Hazards Assessment (T)

Carcinogenicity:

The available data on hydrocarbons, C13-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics do notwarrant classification for carcinogenicity under Dir 67/548/EEC or GHS/CLP.

Mutagenicity:

The available data indicate that hydrocarbons, C13-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics is not genotoxic or mutagenic and do not warrant classification for carcinogenicity under Dir 67/548/EEC or GHS/CLP.

Reproductive Toxicity:

 

There is no evidence that hydrocarbons, C13-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics causes reproductive or developmental toxicity. The available data indicate that hydrocarbons, C13-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, 40-60% aromatics are not toxic to reproduction and do not warrant classification under Dir 67/548/EEC or GHS/CLP.
