Justification:

Persistence

Based on the available information it has to be concluded that (i) the test substance does not biodegrade in water, but (ii) most likely hydrolyses rapidly to TBBS, which in its turn hydrolyzes within 25 hours into the degradation products 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and t-buytlamine. TBSI can therefore be considered to be non-persistent according to Annex XIII. However, the degradation products MBT and t-butylamine were observed not to be susceptible to biodegradation.

Bioaccumulation

Since TBSI hydrolyzes very rapidly, the bioaccumulation potential of its degradation products was assessed. The available bioaccumulation test data yielded BCFs clearly below the threshold value set out in Annex XIII. It is therefore concluded that neither TBSI, nor its degradation products fulfill the B criterion.

Toxicity

The available long-term NOECs in freshwater organisms are > 0.01 mg/L. The substance is not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction, nor is it classified for specific target organ toxicity after repeated exposure. Therefore, it can be concluded that TBSI does not fulfil the T criterion as set out in Annex XIII.

Overall conclusion

Combining all three criteria, it can be concluded that neither TBSI nor its degradation products is considered PBT or vPvB.
