Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT assessment: overall result

PBT status:
PBT assessment does not apply
Justification:

According to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, a substance must fulfil all three criteria for persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity to be considered as PBT, as listed in part 1 of Annex XIII, and it must fulfil the criteria for persistence and bioaccumulation stated in part 2 of Annex XIII to be considered vPvB. 

Data for the definitive conclusion on the PBT or vPvB properties according to the criteria set in Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XIII, parts 1 and 2, are not available for all three criteria. Thus, the screening criteria given in the ‘Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment - Chapter R.11: PBT assessment’ (ECHA, 2012) are used as surrogate information to decide whether the substance may potentially fulfil the PBT or vPvB criteria.

  

Persistence (P) Assessment:

A valid screening criterion to evaluate persistence (P) is the potential of a substance for ready biodegradability. The substance is readily biodegradable. Therefore, it is not expected to be persistent in the environment and it does not meet the Persistent (P) or very Persistent (vP) criteria.

 

Bioaccumulation (B) Assessment:

Due to the rapid environmental biodegradation and metabolization via enzymatic hydrolysis of the substance, a relevant uptake and bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms is not expected. Based on the available information, the substance does not meet the B or vB criteria.

 

Toxicity (T) Assessment:

The available data on short-term and long-term toxicity indicate that the substance is not chronically toxic. The criteria set out in Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 are not met and the substance is considered to be not T.

 

In conclusion, "A mixture of: but-1,3-diyl didecanoate; but-1,3-diyl dioctanoate; but-1,3-diyl 1-decanoate-3-octanoate; but-1,3-diyl 1-octanoate-3-decanoate" is considered not to be PBT or vPvB.
