Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Additional information
Substance characterisation
The test substance Vetivert Oil is a Natural Complex Substance (NCS) which is a subgroup of Complex reaction products or Biological material (UVCB substances).
In a key study, vetivert oil was found to be not readily biodegradable.
Vetivert oil is a NCS consisting of > 140 constituents. For 24 of the major constituents, divided over 3 different functional groups (alcohols, hydrocarbons and ketones), Log Kow values have been estimated. These 24 constituents make up 70.6% of the total composition of vetivert oil. Based on these estimations it can be concluded that > 25% w/w of vetivert oil has a Log Kow > 4 (as alcohols are the main component).
Classification
Vetivert Oil is not readily biodegradable and the Log Kow is > 4 for > 25 % of the constituents. As there is no tested BCF for vetivert oil for its main constituents at the moment, a classification for long-term effects in the environment is applied for both the classification according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC (CLP).

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.
