Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 202-859-9 | CAS number: 100-51-6
Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment

Description of key information
The bioaccumulation estimates based on the log Pow of 1.1 and using BCFBAF v.3.00 (regression-based method) resulted in a BCF of 1.37 L/kg wet weight.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 1.37 L/kg ww
Additional information
No studies on the bioaccumulation of benzyl alcohol are available. In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, a study on bioaccumulation in fish (required in section 9.3.2) does not need to be conducted if the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation (logPow <3). The logPow of benzyl alcohol is 1.1 and bioaccumulation estimates using BCFBAF v.3.00 (regression-based method) resulted in a BCF of 1.37 L/kg wet weight. Hence, benzyl alcohol is considered to have no potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms and the performance of a study is not required.
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.
