PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
The PBT Assessment is based on the criteria set out in the “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT Assessment” (ECHA, 2017c).
Persistence (P) Assessment
Octyl laurate (CAS 5303-24-2) is readily biodegradable and thus not persistent in the environment. Thus, the criteria for Persistent (P) or very Persistent (vP) are not met.
Bioaccumulation (B) Assessment
In accordance with ECHA Guidance R.11 a B-assessment is only necessary in case a substance fulfils the P and/or vP criteria. Since this is not the case for octyl laurate a B-assessment is not considered to be necessary.
Toxicity (T) Assessment
The target substance is not classified as H350, H340, H372, H373, H350i, H360 and/or H361. Moreover, no acute toxicity was recorded in all available studies and the P/vP criteria are not met. Thus, no further T-assessment is considered to be necessary in accordance with the ECHA Guidance.
In conclusion octyl laurate is not considered to be a PBT/vPvB substance.
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.
