Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The measured BCF range for fish exposed to 0.2 mg/L of the analogue, butanone oxime, was 2.8-5.8. The measured BCF range for fish exposed to 2.0 mg/L butanone oxime was 0.5-0.6.
BCF prediction using EUSES is 1.41 L/kg wet-weight for fish, based on a log Kow of 0.077. Regression based estimate of BCF via Episuite v4.11, based on a log Kow of 0.077 is 3.162 L/kg wet-weight.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):
5.8 dimensionless

Additional information

Reliable measured bioconcentration information is not available for acetone oxime. However, reliable measured bioconcentration data is available for the analogue, butanone oxime, and is included in the dossier. 

Ministry of Economic Trade and Industry of Japan (METI) (1982) conducted a reliable (Klimisch 2) GLP compliant study following OECD 305C method. The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were exposed to 0.2 and 2 mg/L of butanone oxime for 42 days. The measured BCF range for the 0.2 mg/L exposure was 2.8-5.8. The measured BCF range for the 2.0 mg/L exposure was 0.5-0.6. Therefore, these values will be taken for the bioaccumulation in fish endpoint.Based on results of this study and the measured low log Kow of 0.077, bioaccumulation of the test substance is not expected. Elementis (2013) provided reliable modeled BCF results for acetone oxime using QSAR models. BCF prediction using EUSES is 1.41 L/kg wet-weight for fish, based on a log Kow of 0.077. Regression based estimate of BCF via Episuite v4.11, based on a log Kow of 0.077 is 3.162 L/kg wet-weight.
