Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
Persistence
The registered substance biodegraded to an extent of 76.3% after 28 days. The data support characterizing the test substance as rapidly biodegradable, readily biodegradable and not expected to persist in the environment under aerobic conditions. It met the 10 -day window requirement, it is characterized as readily biodegradable because the criterion is not applied to multi-component substances when assessing their ready biodegradability. Since the registered substance is characterized as readily biodegradable, it is considered to be not Persistent.
Bioaccumulation
A reliable QSAR model was used to calculate the bioaccumulation potential of the Representative Categories for Hydrocarbons, C12-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, alkenes. BCF values were calculated using the BCFBAF v3.01 module embedded within the EPISuite v4.11 computer model. The calculated BCF (Arnot-Gobas upper trophic) ranged from 1 L/kg wet-wt to 2278 L/kg wet-wt. Based on the results, only few structures of Hydrocarbons, C12-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, alkenes (C12 iso alkane, C12 alkene and C14 linear alkane in the whole carbon range of the categories) meet the Bioaccumulative (B) criteria.
Based on the criteria for bioaccumulation stipulated in the ECHA’s Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment - Part C: PBT Assessment (2008), the registered substance cannot be considered unlikely to be bioaccumulative.
Toxicity
Although a toxicity assessment is not required if the P and B criteria are not met (see above) it is discussed here. According to Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and according to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter 11 (PBT Assessment, May 2008), a substance does not fulfill the criterion if the NOEC for marine or freshwater organisms is 0.01 mg/l or higher and if there is no evidence of chronic toxicity considering human health and no classification as carcinogenic (category 1 or 2), mutagenic (category 1or 2) or toxic for reproduction (category 1, 2 or 3) according to Directive 67/548/ECC. Hydrocarbons, C12-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, alkenes does not meet any of these criteria. Therefore, it can be concluded that the registered substance does not fulfill the toxicity (T) criterion as laid down in Annex XIII of regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
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.
