Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
- Lemon oil is a Natural Complex Substance (NCS) for which >96% of the
constituents is identified. All identified constituents including those
known down to 0.1% are considered for the PBT-vPvB assessment. None
of the known constituents of Lemon oil meet the criteria for P/vP laid
down in Annex XIII of REACH. Therefore none of the known
constituents of Lemon oil meets the criteria for vPvB or PBT.
Persistence assessment
All known constituents, comprising up to 97% of the composition of this NCS are in the category of ready or rapidly biodegradable substances. Therefore the substance Lemon is considered as readily biodegradable. Thus none of the known constituents of Lemon oil are considered P (or vP).
Bioaccumulation assessment
Further B/vB assessment is not relevant as none of the known constituents of Lemon oil are P (or vP).
Toxicity assessment
None of the known constituents of Lemon oil meet the criteria for P/vP. Therefore it can be concluded that none of the constituents are PBT or vPvB without further evaluation of the T properties.
- Likely routes of exposure:
Investigation of the likely routes of exposure is not needed as the substance is not PBT or vP/vB.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
