Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 272-205-5 | CAS number: 68783-65-3 A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by subjecting a petroleum distillate to a sweetening process to convert mercaptans or to remove acidic impurities. It consists predominantly of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C2 through C4 and boiling in the range of approximately -51°C to -34°C (-60°F to -30°F).

- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
As part of the REACH Regulation(EC 1907/2006)an assessment of a substance’s persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) and very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) properties needs to be considered within the context of Annex XIII of REACH. This type of evaluation is required for each registered substance for which a Chemical Safety Assessment (CSA) is done.
The PBT assessment of mono-constituents is well defined in ECHA’s guidance. However, for complex substances such as UVCBs this is a more difficult task due to the complex nature of the substances. This problem is further compounded by the fact that there are no guidelines for whole UVCB substance biodegradation and bioaccumulation tests.The PBT assessment for the categories was conducted by evaluating the individual constituents reported by the registrants (co and lead) at a concentration of≥0.1%, as indicated in the ECHA guidance following the “known constituents” approach.
The tables presented in the PBT report (attached in Section 13) show the screening criteria that were used to assess Persistence and Bioaccumulation, prioritising experimental data over QSAR estimates (EPIWEB 4.1). They also list all the constituents reported by the registrants together with the data used for screening of their Persistence and Bioaccumulation potentials.
Based on the results of this screening assessment we can conclude that the Other Petroleum Gases does not contain constituents that meet the screening criteria for PBT or vPvB.
- Likely routes of exposure:
This section of the report is not required for non PBT/vPvB substances.
