Conclusions:
The range of BCF values for the components of the UVCB substance is 34.4 to 316 L/kg wet-wt. The substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative on the basis of the results generated by the QSAR model, US EPA On-Line EPI Suite™ v. 4.11.

Executive summary:

It is understood that Annex XI, section 1.3 allows adaptation of the standard testing requirements by making use of (Q)SAR only if the following conditions are met:

(i) results are derived from a (Q)SAR  model whose scientific validity has been established,

(ii) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model,

(iii) results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labelling and/or risk assessment, and

(iv) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.

 

Within the model used, the conditions (i) through (iv) are considered to be met for the US EPA On-Line EPI Suite™v4.11 model BCFBAF

 

The structures assessed with this model were deemed to fall within the applicability domain of the model, and this is demonstrated within the relevant QPRF. The model is recognized, and referenced within ECHA’s own guidance. Due to the fact that QSAR is utilised, this study was categorised as a Klimisch level 2 study.

 

The range of BCF values for the three main components is 34.4 to 316 L/kg wet-wt. The substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative on the basis of the QSAR data developed.

5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
The components of the UVCB substance may be out of the applicability domain of the model.

6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT
The components of the UVCB substance may be out of the applicability domain of the model therefore the results generated using this QSAR model are considered to be unreliable.
Qualifier:

Guideline:

Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The model performs provides a quantitative prediction of bioconcentration factor (BCF) in fish, given in log(L/kg). It is implemented inside the VEGA online platform, accessible at: http://www.vega-qsar.eu/

The model performs a read-across on a dataset of 860 chemicals. This dataset has been made by Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, merging experimental data from several reliable sources, including the original dataset of the CAESAR BCF model (note that experimental values may differ from the ones in the CAESAR BCF dataset, as this new dataset has been built including more sources).
The read-across is based on the similarity index developed inside the VEGA platform; the index takes into account several structural aspects of the compounds, such as their fingerprint, the number of atoms, of cycles, of heteroatoms, of halogen atoms, and of particular fragments (such as nitro groups).
The index value ranges from 1 (maximum similarity) to 0. On the basis of this structural similarity index, the three compounds from the dataset resulting most similar to the chemical to be predicted are taken into account: the estimated BCF value is calculated as the weighted average value of the experimental values of the three selected compounds, using their similarity values as weight.

Conclusions:
The range of BCF values for the components of the UVCB substance is 18.89 to 36.16 L/kg wet-wt. The substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative on the basis of the results generated by the QSAR model, US EPA T.E.S.T. (version 4.2.1) (Toxicity Estimation Software Tool).

Executive summary:

It is understood that Annex XI, section 1.3 allows adaptation of the standard testing requirements by making use of (Q)SAR only if the following conditions are met:

(i) results are derived from a (Q)SAR  model whose scientific validity has been established,

(ii) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model,

(iii) results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labelling and/or risk assessment, and

(iv) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.

 

Within the model used, the conditions (i) through (iv) are considered to be met for the US EPA T.E.S.T. (version 4.2.1) (Toxicity Estimation Software Tool).

 

The structures assessed with this model were deemed to fall within the applicability domain of the model, and this is demonstrated within the relevant QPRF. The model is recognized, and referenced within ECHA’s own guidance. Due to the fact that QSAR is utilised, this study was categorised as a Klimisch level 2 study.

 

The range of BCF values for the three main components is 18.89 to 36.16 L/kg wet-wt. The substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative on the basis of the QSAR data developed.

Description of key information

The BCF values for the components of the UVCB substance, diisodecyl adipate, were estimated using the following five QSAR models:

US EPA On-Line EPI Suite™ v. 4.11 BCFBAF™ v3.01

US EPA T.E.S.T. (version 4.2.1) (Toxicity Estimation Software Tool)

VEGA BCF model (KNN/Read-Across) (version 1.1.0)

VEGA BCF model (CAESAR) (version 2.1.14)

VEGA BCF Meylan Model (version 1.0.3)

The results obtained using the CAESAR and Meylam models were considered to be unreliable.

QSAR model, US EPA On-Line EPI Suite™ v. 4.11: The range of BCF values for the components of the UVCB substance is 34.4 to 316 L/kg wet-wt. The substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative on the basis of these results.

US EPA T.E.S.T. (version 4.2.1) (Toxicity Estimation Software Tool): The range of BCF values for the components of the UVCB substance is 18.89 to 36.16 L/kg wet-wt. The substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative on the basis of these results.

VEGA BCF model (KNN/Read-Across) 1.1.0: The range of BCF values for the components of the UVCB substance is 8.3 to 13.5 L/kg wet-wt. The substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative on the basis of these results.

Additional information

The substance is also considered to be not bioaccumulative due to its rapid metabolism. After uptake by fish, it expected that the substance will undergo rapid hydrolysis, catalysed by carboxylesterases, to adipic acid and the corresponding alcohols. The alcohols will be further oxidized to fatty acids; fatty acids act as sources of energy for fish by undergoing further metabolism. Adipic acid does not have the potential to accumulate in adipose tissue due to its low log Pow. In addition, steric hindrance will limit the bioaccumulative potential of diisodecyl adipate.
