Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
Data for this PBT / vPvB Assessment are from the bis hydrogenated substance , Quaternary ammonium compounds, di- C16-18 (even numbered) -alkyldimethyl, chlorides (DHTDMAC), CAS No. 92129-33-4.
PERSISTENCE ASSESSMENT
Based on the conservative degradation half-life of DHTDMAC derived in the EU Risk Assessment DODMAC/DHTDMAC, 2002, (EUR 20397 EN/2, ISSN 1018-5593) of 150d for surface water the 'P' criteria of the PBT/vPvB Assessment is fulfilled. For sediment and soil even more conservative half-lives of 500d were derived the EU Risk Assessment. Experiences with other quats e.g. Behentrimonium chloride, CAS No. 68607-24-9 have shown that despite high sorption to sediment and soil fast biodegradation has occured. The half-lives measured were all considerably lower than the half-life criteria for P and vP.
BIOACCUMULATION ASSESSMENT
Lepomis macrochirus was exposed to 14C-DHTDMAC for 49 days to determine the BCF for quaternary ammonium compounds, di-C16-18(even numbered) -alkyldimethyl, chlorides. The maximum BCF was found to be 13 L/kg in the non edible fraction with an elimination DT90 of 14 days. Therefore the 'B' criteria for the vPvB/PBT Assessment are not fulfilled.
TOXICITY ASSESSMENT
For the aquatic compartment the lowest chronic NOEC from a Daphnia river water test is 62 µg/l. Due to mitigation of ecotoxicity in river water a safety factor of 10 should be applied to the river water result. This results in a chronic NOEC of 6 µg/L for DHTDMAC. Therefore the 'T' criteria of the vPvB/PBT Assessment is fulfiled.
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).
