PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
Based on the following evaluations for copper and iodine, it is concluded that copper iodide is neither PBT nor vPvB.
COPPER:
Copper is a natural, essential element, which is needed for the optimal growth and development of all living organisms, including man. All living organisms have homeostasis mechanisms that actively regulate copper uptake and absorption/excretion from the body; due to this regulation, the bio-accumulation criterion does not apply. Copper is an element, and as such the criterion ‘persistence’ is not relevant for the metal and its inorganic compounds in a way as it is applied to organic substances. The removal of inorganic substances from the water column has been discussed as a surrogate for persistence. The rapid removal of copper from the water column documented that for copper this criterion does not apply.
Considering the above, copper is not PBT or vPvB.
IODINE:
According to Annex XIII of REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 a PBT assessment is not applicable to inorganic substances. Therefore a PBT assessment is not applicable to Iodine.
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.
