Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
Summary and overall conclusions on PBT or vPvB properties
9-Octadecenoic acid (9Z)-, decyl ester (CAS 3687-46-5) is not a candidate for PBT or vPvB classification.
PBT/vPvB criteria and justification
Data for the definitive conclusion on the PBT or vPvB properties ofthe category members of the Long Chain Alcohol esters are not available. Thus, the screening criteria given in the‘Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, chapter R.11: PBT assessment’ (ECHA, 2008) are used as surrogate information to decide whether the substance may potentially fulfil the PBT or vPvB criteria.
Persistence Assessment
The screening criterion for persistence is the potential of a substance for ready biodegradation. Since the category members of the Long Chain Alcohol Esters arereadily biodegradable, they are considered to be not persistent and do not meet the P or vP criterion.
Bioaccumulation Assessment
An evaluation of the bioaccumulation potential of Long Chain Alcohol Estersis presented in chapter4.3indicating that the substance(s) does not meet the Bioaccumulative (B) or very Bioaccumulative (vB) criteria and can therefore be considered unlikely to be bioaccumulative.
Toxicity Assessment
None of the measured data for Long Chain Alcohol Esters do fulfil the classification criteria for classification as R45, R46, R48, R49, R60-63 or the screening criterion for Toxicity (T) to aquatic organisms stipulated in the ECHA’s “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment – Chapter R.11: PBT Assessment” (2008): E(L)C50 < 0.1 mg/L. Therefore, the Long Chain Alcohol Esters are not considered to be toxic (T).
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.
