Administrative data

PBT assessment: overall result

PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

The PBT Assessment for Amides, C16 and C18-C20 (even numbered, unsaturated), N,N’-ethylenebis is based on the criteria set out in the “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT Assessment” (ECHA, 2017).

Persistence

One study according to OECD 301B resulted in < 16% (CO2 evolution) degradation after 28 d. Thus, according to the screening criteria set out in the “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT Assessment” (ECHA, 2017) the substance is considered to be persistent (P) or very persistent (vP).

Bioaccumulation

One study according to “Circular on the Japanese Test Methods of New Chemical Substances, bioaccumulation test” resulted in a BCF of < 6.2. Thus, according to the definite criteria set out in Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 the substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative (B) or very bioaccumulative (vB).

Toxicity

Long-term toxicity testing with Daphnia magna resulted in a NOEC of 0.00564 mg/L (OECD 211). No toxicity in the range of water solubility. Moreover, the test substance is not classified according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (2nd ATP). Thus, the criteria set out in Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 are not met and the test substance is not considered to meet the T criterion.

Conclusion

In conclusion the substance is not considered to meet the criteria to be classified as PBT or vPvB based on the available data.
