Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Additional information
A large number of aquatic ecotoxicity studies have been conducted with benzene. Following the approach in the EU RAR for benzene (2008) tests conducted in flow-through systems with analytical confirmation of the exposure concentration have been preferentially selected as key studies because of the high volatility of benzene.
The PBT assessment toxicity screening criteria are that an acute EC50 or LC50 <0.1mg/L is considered to be T, and that an EC50 or LC50 <0.01mg/L indicates that the substance is definitely T. Experimental acute and chronic ecotoxicity data are available for benzene. The acute effect concentrations are greater than the screening criteria and the chronic values are greater than the toxicity criteria stipulated in Annex XIII. Therefore, benzene is not considered to be 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.
