PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
The PBT assessment of Castor oil, ester with glycerol (CAS 68459-67-6) is based on the criteria set out in the “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT Assessment” (ECHA, 2017).
Persistence
Castor oil, ester with glycerol (CAS 68459-67-6) is readily biodegradable. Thus, the substance does not meet the screening criterion for persistence and it is not considered to be P or vP.
Bioaccumulation
The substance is readily biodegradable and thus not persistent (P or vP). Therefore, no B-assessment was carried out since it is only required if the substance fulfills the P or vP criteria, according to the guideline (Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Chapter R.11: PBT/vPvB assessment, 2017).
Toxicity
The available chronic effect concentrations (aquatic algae) are≥0.01 mg/L and the available acute effect concentrations are≥0.1 mg/L (fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae). Therefore, the criteria set out in Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are not fulfilled and the target substance does not meet the T criterion.
In conclusion, the substance is not PBT/vPvB.
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.
