PBT assessment: overall result

Reference
Name:
Octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane
Type of composition:
boundary composition of the substance
State / form:
solid: particulate/powder
Reference substance:
Octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane
PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

The substance does meet the screening criteria for persistence (P/vP) in the aquatic compartment.

The substance does not meet the screening criteria for bioaccumulation B or vB based on weight of evidence of high log Kow (9.0) and high molecular size (Dmax16.9 Å) and weight (793.19 g/mol). The substance does not meet the definitive criteria for bioaccumulation based on a lipid-normalised kinetic BCF value of 284 L/kg ww (read-across from a structurally related substance) and weight of evidence determination using expert judgement; it is not B or vB.

The substance does not meet the definitive criteria for toxicity; it is not T.
