Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
Annex XIII of the REACH Regulation (1907/2006) lays down the criteria for the identification of persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances (PBT substances), as well as the information that must be considered for the purpose of assessing the P, B, and T properties of a substance. The criteria require that all available information is to be used, employing a weight-of-evidence approach. Substances must meet all three criteria to be considered PBT.
Persistence Assessment: LAB Sulfonic Acid was found to be readily biodegradable in the OECD Die-Away test, with 94% biodegradability in 28 days. Therefore, LAB Sulfonic Acid is not persistent.
Bioaccumulation Assessment:A flow-through fish test (OECD 305E) was conducted to assess the bioaccumulation potential of four different mixtures of LAS (read-across). Results indicate BCF values ranging from 2 to 1000. In a supporting study, the bioconcentration of LAS in the marine shrimp Palaemonetes varians was measured in a radiotracer study. The BCF55 for shrimp was calculated to be 159 L/kg. Therefore, LAB Sulfonic Acid is not bioaccumulative.
Toxicity Assessment: None of the long-term NOECs for marine or freshwater organisms are 0.01 mg /L. LAB Sulfonic Acid is not classified as carcinogenic (Category 1 or 2), mutagenic (Category 1 or 2), or toxic for reproduction (Category 1, 2 or 3). There is no evidence of chronic toxicity, as identified by the classifications: T, R48, or Xn, R48 according to Directive 67/548/EEC. Therefore LAB Sulfonic Acid does not meet the PBT criteria for toxicity.
Summary and overall Conclusions on PBT or vPvB: Properties Based on the data collected and the discussion above, LAB Sulfonic Acid does not meet the criteria for either PBT or VPvB as it is readily biodegraded in the environment, has a very low bioaccumulation potential, low chronic aquatic toxicity and is not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction or for chronic toxicity.
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.
