Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Persistence


The substance was found to be readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions. Hence, the substance appears not to fulfill the screening criteria for persistence (P), as laid down in the guidance on information requirements part C (ECHA, May 2008) and Annex XIII of REACH Regulation.


 


Bioaccumulation


The substance was assessed to have a low bioaccumulation potential as it has a low log Kow. Therefore, L-lysine HCl appears not to fulfill the screening criteria for bioaccumulation (B), as laid down in the guidance on information requirements part C (ECHA, May 2008) and Annex XIII of REACH Regulation.


 


Toxicity


The substance does not fulfill the screening criterion for toxicity as all L(E)C50 values for freshwater organisms are > 100 mg/l. Besides, the test substance is not classified as carcinogenic and there is no evidence of chronic toxicity. The substance does not fulfill the criteria for toxicity (T) as laid down in the guidance on information requirements part C (ECHA, May 2008) and Annex XIII of REACH Regulation.


The dossier has been updated referring to Directive 1907/2006 EG (REACh); Article 22(1); (e), (g).


DNEL and PNEC values derived in the earlier version of the dossier have been removed due to the reasons already discussed in section 7.1.
Lysine intake in the western human diet is in the range 40–180 mg/kg bw/d. This corresponds to a maximum of 2.8- 12.6 g Lysine /day for an adult weighing 70 kg. Based on the available information there is no indication of a bioaccumulation potential and secondary poisoning is of no concern. L-Lysine has no potential to cause toxic effects if accumulated via the food chain.


 

Conclusion on classification

As L-lysine HCl has been determined experimentally to be readily biodegradable, has low bioaccumulation potential and low toxicity it should not be considered as a PBT or vPvB and not classifed for the environment (CLP and DPD).
