Reference substance:

N-Methylethanolamine

PBT status:

the substance is not PBT / vPvB

Justification:

The substance N-methylethanolamine is not a PBT / vPvB substance. The substance fulfils one of the relevant criteria for a PBT or a vPvB-Substance, namely the T-criterion. However, N-methylethanolamine is not considered as a PBT substance due to the lack of persistency as well as negligible bioaccumulation potential (not P and not B). There is no necessity for further testing to identify one of these inherent chemical properties.
