The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result
(OECD principle 5)1. The BCF model is mainly based on the relationship between bioconcentration and hydrophobicity. The model also takes into account the chemical structure and the ionic/non-ionic character of the substance.
2. Bioaccumulation is the net result of relative rates of chemical inputs to an organism from multimedia exposures (e.g., air, food, and water) and chemical outputs (or elimination) from the organism.
3. The model includes mechanistic processes for bioconcentration and bioaccumulation such as chemical uptake from the water at the gill surface (BCFs and BAFs) and the diet (BAFs only), and chemical elimination at the gill surface, fecal egestion, growth dilution and metabolic biotransformation (Arnot and Gobas 2003). Other processes included in the calculations are bioavailability in the water column (only the freely dissolved fraction can bioconcentrate) and absorption efficiencies at the gill and in the gastrointestinal tract.

- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- T.E.S.T. is a toxicity estimation software tool. The program requires only the molecular structure of the test item, all other molecular descriptors which are required to estimate the toxicity are calculated within the tool itself. The molecular descriptors describe physical characteristics of the molecule (e.g. E-state values and E-state counts, constitutional descriptors, topological descriptors, walk and path counts, connectivity, information content, 2d autocorrelation, Burden eigenvalue, molecular property (such as the octanol-water partition coefficient), Kappa, hydrogen bond acceptor/donor counts, molecular distance edge, and molecular fragment counts). Each of the available methods uses a different set of these descriptors to estimate the toxicity.
The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) was estimated using several available methods: hierarchical clustering method; FDA method, single model method; group contribution method; nearest neighbor method; consensus method. The methods were validated using statistical external validation using separate training and test data sets.
The experimental data set was obtained from several different databases (Dimitrov et al., 2005; Arnot and Gobas, 2006; EURAS; Zhao, 2008). From the available data set salts, mixtures and ambiguous compounds were removed. The final data set contained 676 chemicals.

The uncertainty of the prediction
(OECD principle 4)The uncertainty of the predictions can be assessed by comparing the mean absolute error (MAE) of the entire dataset with the MAE of the dataset restricted to substances with a similarity coefficient (SC) of ≥ 0.5. If the MAE for the entire set is lower than the MAE for the similar substances (SC ≥ 0.5), the confidence in the predicted BCF value is high.
The table below lists the information on q2(leave one out correlation coefficient), r2(correlation coefficient), MAE and SC of the models.
Based on the MAE of the external and the training dataset, the confidence in the estimated BCF is assessed as follows.

(OECD principle 5)Molecular descriptors are used to develop the models. The overall pool of descriptors in the software contain 797 2-dimensional descriptors of the following classes: E-state values and E-state counts, constitutional descriptors, topological descriptors, walk and path counts, connectivity, information content, 2d autocorrelation, Burden eigenvalue, molecular property (such as the octanol-water partition coefficient), Kappa, hydrogen bond acceptor/donor counts, molecular distance edge, and molecular fragment counts.

- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The model performs a read-across and provides a quantitative prediction of bioconcentration factor (BCF) in fish, given in log(L/kg). The read-across is based on the similarity index developed inside the VEGA platform; the index takes into account several structural aspects of the compounds, such as their fingerprint, the number of atoms, of cycles, of heteroatoms, of halogen atoms, and of particular fragments (such as nitro groups). On the basis of this structural similarity index, the three compounds from the dataset resulting most similar to the chemical to be predicted are taken into account: the estimated BCF value is calculated as the weighted average value of the experimental values of the three selected compounds, using their similarity values as weight.

The magnitude of the effect on the BCF by the single mitigating factors should be regarded as tentative information as the factors influence each other. The effect of individual mitigating factors (e.g. metabolism) is calculated as:
Mitigating effect of metabolism = log BCFcorrected(all factors except for metabolism) – log BCFcorrected(all factors)
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The BCF base-line model estimates the BCF to be 191 and 295 (log BCF = 2.28 and 2.47) for the two structrues. Mitigating factors like metabolism, molecular size and the water solubility were considered by the model.
The effects of acids, size and, to a lesser extent, metabolism were the main contributors to the reduction of potential for bioaccumulation as compared to an estimation based on logKOW only.
CONCLUSION
Both representative structures, and therefore also the components of the UVCB, are considered to not significantly bioaccumulate in organisms.

Description of key information
Significant accumulation in organisms is not to be expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 295 L/kg ww
Additional information
There is no experimental data available on the bioaccumulative potential of the registration item, which is a UVCB substance.
Therefore, two molecules (highly branched versus not branched at all), representing the lower and the upper limit of the range of possible structures, respectively, were used to predict the potential for bioaccumulation of the registration item:
CCCCCCCCCCCCCNC(=O)/C=C\C(O)=O
CCC(C)C(C)C(C)C(C)C(C)CNC(=O)/C=C\C(O)=O
A variety of models have been used to address the information requirement for the registration item. Details about the individual estimations can be retrieved from the endpoint study records in this section. The results received from this BCF predictions ranged from 1.58 to 295 (including both representative structures). In a worst case approach, the upper limit of this range may be used to assess the potential for bioaccumulation of the UVCB. As this upper limit is clearly below the thresholds used for classification (500) and the screening assessment for the B criterion in the context of the PBT assessment (2000), it can be concluded that significant accumulation in organisms is not to be expected.
