Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Benzyl benzoate was found to be readily biodegradable in an EU method C4 -D test, with 94% degradation achieved in 28 days. This indicates that the substance will be rapidly degraded in the environment and will not persist.
An OECD 121 adsorption study found that benzyl benzoate has a log Koc of 3.8. Based on this information, the substance is likely to adsorb strongly to organic carbon and will be of low mobility in soils and sediment.
A QSAR estimation of the bioconcentration factor was made using an experimental log Kow. The log BCF was estimated to be 2.286 (BCF = 193.4). This indicates that no significant bioaccumulation will occur in the environment.
Hydrolysis testing was not considered necessary for the substance, as it is readily biodegradable.
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.
