Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Estimated BCF for EPTC in the edible fish tissues: 37
Estimated BCF for EPTC in the whole fish tissues: 60
Estimated BCF for EPTC in the non-edible fish tissues: 110
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 60 dimensionless
Additional information
The bioaccumulation and elimination of 14C-EPTC by bluegill sunfish were investigated in a dynamic flow-through system, where the fish were exposed for 28 days at 22°C, followed by depuration in EPTC free water for 14 days. Estimated bioconcentration factors for EPTC were 37, 60, and 110, respectively, in the edible, whole fish, and non-edible fish tissues. According to a classification scheme, the whole-fish bioaccumulation factor (BCF) value suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate (U.S. EPA, 1999)
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.
