PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
L-aspartic acid is readily biodegradable and has no bioaccumulation potential.
Criterion
PBT criteria vPvB criteria
L-Aspartic acid Criterion fulfilled?
P
Half-life in marine water > 60 d, or half-life in fresh- or estuarine water > 40 d, or half-life in marine sediment > 180 d, or half-life in fresh- or estuarine water sediment > 120 d, or half-life in soil > 120 d
Half-life in marine, fresh or esturarine water > 60 d, or Half-life in marine, fresh or esturarine sediment > 180 d, or half-life in soil > 180 d
L-Aspartic acid is readily biodegradable and therefore has no potential to persist.
no
B
BCF > 2000
BCF > 5000
L-Aspartic acid has low potential to bioaccumulate based on a log Kow of-3.89.
no
T
Long-term NOEC for marine or freshwater organisms < 0.01 mg/l
No long term data.
no
T
CMR
n. a.
On the basis of the hazard assessment, L-Aspartic acid is not expected to be carcinogenic, mutagenic or a reproductive toxicant.
no
T
Other evidence of chronic toxicity, as identified by the classifications: T, R48, or Xn, R48 according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Not classified as STOT RE category 1 or 2 according to Regulation EC 1272/2008 (CLP)
n. a.
Not classified as T, R48, or Xn, R48 according to Directive 67/548/EEC and
Not classified as STOT RE category 1 or 2 according to Regulation EC 1272/2008 (CLP)
no
Overall conclusion:
Based on the assessment described in the subsections above the submission substance is not a PBT / vPvB substance.
A substance is identified as a PBT substance if it fulfils all three PBT criteria described above.
None of these criteria are fulfilled and therefore Succinic anhydride cannot be classified as PBT.
A substance is identified as a vPvB substance if it fulfils both vPvB criteria described above.
The vP and the vB criterion are not fulfilled. L-Aspartic acid is neither a PBT nor a vPvB substance.Accordingly, an Emission Characterisation under Section 4.2 of Annex I is not required
