Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Conclusion on classification

Classification related key information

Biodegradation in water: screening tests: 9.51% (CO2 evolution) after 28 days (EPA OTS 796.3260)

Log Pow: 0.444 (EU method A.8)

 

Acute toxicity

- to fish: LC50 (96 h) = 1140 mg/L, Lepomis macrochirus (OECD 203)

- to invertebrates (crustacea): EC50 (48 h) = 290 mg/L, Daphnia magna (OECD 202, EU Method C.2)

- to algae: ErC50 (96 h) = 280 mg/L, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (OECD 201, EU Method C.3)

 

Chronic toxicity:

- to fish: not available

- to invertebrates: not available

- to algae: NOEC (96 h) = 75 mg/L, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (OECD 201, EU Method C.3)

 

Classification justification according to CLP

Based on the data above, NPBT is considered to be not rapidly biodegradable. The acute aquatic toxicity values, L(E)C50, are > 100 mg/L for fish, invertebrates and algae. Valid chronic toxicity data is available for algae with a NOEC > 10 mg/L. Therefore, NPBT does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazard according to the regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Regulation (EU) No. 286/2011 (2nd ATP).

Classification justification according to DSD

Based on the data above, NPBT is considered to have low potential for bioaccumulation but is not rapidly biodegradable. The acute aquatic toxicity L(E)C50 is > 100 mg/L for fish, invertebrates and algae. The available aquatic chronic data on algae is > 10 mg/L. Therefore the substance does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazard according to the Directive 67/548/EEC.
