Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
bioaccumulation in aquatic species: fish
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
06 February 2020
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
QSAR prediction from a well-known and acknowledged tool. See below under "attached background material section" for methodology and QPRF
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: REACH Guidance on QSARs: Chapter R.6. QSARs and grouping of chemicals
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Since the test substance is an UVCB containing only ionic constituents, the BCF values were predicted using regression-based method and using SMILES codes as the input parameter. As the BCFBAF module of EPI Suite program does not accept metal or charged ions, the SMILES codes for the individual constituents were generated only for the corresponding organic acid parts.
Details on estimation of bioconcentration:
Since the test substance is an UVCB containing only ionic constituents, the BCF values were predicted using regression-based method and using SMILES codes as the input parameter. As the BCFBAF module of EPI Suite program does not accept metal or charged ions, the SMILES codes for the individual constituents were generated only for the corresponding organic acid parts.

Conclusions:
Using the regression-based methods of the BCFBAF v.3.02 program (EPI SuiteTM v4.11) for constituents, the BCF values were predicted to range from 3.16 to 56.2 L/kg ww. The test substance is expected to have a low bioaccumulation potential.
Executive summary:

The bioconcentration factor (BCF) value of test substance,Tall oil, potassium salt was predicted using regression-based BAF-BCF models of BCFBAF v3.02 program (EPI SuiteTMv4.11). Considering that the test substance is a UVCB containing only ionic constituents, the BCF values were predicted using regression-based method and using SMILES codes as the input parameter. The BCF values for the constituents ranged from 3.16 to 56.2 L/kg ww (log BCF: 0.50 to 1.75), indicating a low bioaccumulation potential. On comparing with domain descriptors, all constituents were found to meet the MW, log Kow domain criteria as defined in the BCFBAF user guide of EPISuite. Overall, considering the individual BCF predictions for the constituents, the test substance is expected to have a low bioaccumulation potential.
