Endpoint:
bioaccumulation in aquatic species: fish
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation based on log Kow <=3

Description of key information

The logKow values of all of the major componments of Reaction mass of 1,3-Propanediol, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-[(methoxymethoxy)methyl]- and 1,3-dioxane-5,5-dimethanol are reported to be <3 (see Section 4.7, partition coefficient). The logKow is below the trigger of 3 therefore the substance Reaction mass of 1,3-Propanediol, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-[(methoxymethoxy)methyl]- and 1,3-dioxane-5,5-dimethanol is not expected to bioaccumulate in living organisms. According to Column 2 of Annex IX of the REACH regulation, no bioaccumulation study is required if the logKow is below the trigger of 3.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
