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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 289-612-9 | CAS number: 89957-91-5 Extractives and their physically modified derivatives such as tinctures, concretes, absolutes, essential oils, oleoresins, terpenes, terpene-free fractions, distillates, residues, etc., obtained from Citrus bergamia risso, Rutaceae.
PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
- Bergamot oil is a Natural Complex Substance (NCS) for which 97.3% of the
constituents is identified. All identified constituents including those
known down to 0.1% are considered for the PBT-vPvB assessment. None
of the known constituents of Bergamot oil meets the criteria for P/vP laid
down in Annex XIII of REACH. Therefore none of the known
constituents of Bergamot oil meets the criteria for vPvB or PBT.
Persistence assessment
Up to 96.6% of the composition of this NCS are in the category of readily biodegradable substances. For some constituents (<1%) the ready biodegradability is decided based on the ready biodegradability of structurally related substances. For 2 substances, each typically present at 0.05%, no data on the biodegradation were available but based on BIOWIN predictions, these two constituents do not meet the screening criteria for 'Persistent' (PBT-criteria).
Therefore, none of the known constituents of Bergamot oil is considered P (or vP). 97.3% of the composition of this NCS is in the category of ready biodegradable substances and therefore Bergamot oil is considered as readily biodegradable.
Bioaccumulation assessment
None of the known constituents of Bergamot oil meet the criteria for P/vP. Therefore it can be concluded that none of the constituents are a PBT or vPvB without further evaluation of the B/vB properties.
Toxicity assessment
None of the known constituents of Bergamot oil meet the criteria for P/vP. Therefore it can be concluded that none of the constituents are PBT or vPvB without further evaluation of the T properties.
- Likely routes of exposure:
Investigation of the likely routes of exposure is not needed as the substance is not PBT or vP/vB.
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).
