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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Based on the specific rules provided in the column 2 of the Annex IX of the REACH Regulation, the study on bioaccumulation in aquatic species need not to be conducted if the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation (for instance a logKow 3), which is the case of salicylic acid.
Therefore, no new study is needed for this endpoint and salicylic acid should be considered as having a low potential for bioaccumulation.
Studies on the bioaccumulation in aquatic plants and algae are available (Wang and Lay, 2001), but these were not considered as reliable because an unknown part of the resulted BCF might be due to chemical being adsorbed on the exposed organisms and not absorbed in.
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.
