Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Non-graphitic carbon fibres within the scope of this registration are not expected to be bioavailable and therefore bioaccumulation does not appear to be of concern.
According to Annex IX section 9.3.2, Column 2 of the REACH Regulation a study does not need to be conducted if the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation. Carbon is a naturally occurring compound. Since it is continuously cycled in the environment, bioaccumulation does not occur. In addition, the macromolecular structure of the substance makes crossing biological membranes unlikely. Thus, it is scientifically not necessary to conduct a study.
Furthermore, the substance is regarded as inorganic. A PBT assessment appears to be scientifically not justified according to ECHA's Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT/vPvB assessment, section R.11.2.1: "Annex XIII to REACH is generally applicable to any substance containing an organic moiety. Based on the common definition of an organic substance in chemistry, PBT and vPvB criteria are not applicable to inorganic substances."
Additional information
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.
