Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
bioaccumulation in aquatic species: fish
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation based on log Kow <=3

Description of key information

BCFBAF model (v3.01) of Estimation Programs Interface prediction program (2018) was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated to be 22.95 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the test chemical is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):
22.95 L/kg ww

Additional information

Various predicted data of the test chemical were reviewed for the bioaccumulation end point which are summarized as below:

 

In a prediction done using the BCFBAF Programof Estimation Programs Interface was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated to be 22.95 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C).

 

Using Bio-concentration Factor module(ACD (Advanced Chemistry Development)/I-Lab predictive module, 2017)),bio-concentration factor over the entire pH scale (pH 1-14) of the test chemical was estimated to be 40.5.

 

Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated using Chemspider database(2019). The bioconcentration factor of test chemical was estimated to be 68.55 at both pH 5.5 and 7.4, respectively.

 

Another predicted data was estimated using SciFinder database (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019) for predicting the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical.The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated to be 44.3 at pH range 1-10 respectively (at 25 deg C).

 

From CompTox Chemistry Dashboard using OPERA (OPEn (quantitative) structure-activity Relationship Application)  V1.02 model in which calculation based on PaDEL descriptors (calculate molecular descriptors and fingerprints of chemical), the bioaccumulation i.e BCF for test chemical was estimated to be 28.0 dimensionless . The predicted BCF result based on the 5 OECD principles.

 

On the basis of above results for test chemical, it can be concluded that the BCF value of test substance was evaluated to be ranges from 22.95 to68.55, respectivelywhich does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the test chemical is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.

Bioaccumulation endpoint can also be considered for waiver as per inaccordance with column 2 of Annex IX of the REACH regulation, testing for this endpoint is scientifically not necessary and does not need to be conducted since the test chemical has a low potential for bioaccumulation based on logKow ≤ 3.
