PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
Acetophenone proved to be readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria. The bioaccumulation potential was demonstrated to be low based on an estimated BCF of 0.5. This is supported by a log Kow of 1.65 at 20°C. Based on the available results on short-term toxicity to aquatic organisms, the lowest L(E)C50 was determined to be >1 mg/L. Furthermore,the substance is not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic for reproduction or toxic after repeated exposure (STO RE or R48) according to Directive 67/548/EEC or CLP Regulation.
These data indicate that acetophenone is neither fulfilling the criteria forpersistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances (PBT-substances), nor the criteria for very persistent and very bioaccumulative substances (vPvB-substances)according to the criteria of Annex XIII of REACH regulation or the screening criteria.
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.
