Linseed oil, epoxidized

PBT assessment

PBT assessment: overall result

PBT status:

the substance is not PBT / vPvB

Justification:

See section 8 of the CSR

 

                 

The relevant PBT (persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic) criteria according to the REACH regulation and the corresponding properties of Linseed Oil, epoxidised are compiled in the following Table:

Table35: PBT and vPvB criteria and the corresponding properties ofLinseed Oil, epoxidised

Criterion	PBT criteria	vPvB criteria	Linseed Oil, epoxidised	Criterion fulfilled?
P	Half-life in marine water > 60 d, or half-life in fresh- or estuarine water > 40 d, or half-life in marine sediment > 180 d, or half-life in fresh- or estuarine water sediment > 120 d, or half-life in soil > 120 d	Half-life in marine, fresh or esturarine water > 60 d, or Half-life in marine, fresh or esturarine sediment > 180 d, or half-life in soil > 180 d	Linseed Oil, epoxidisedisreadily biodegradable and therefore has potential to persist.	No
B	BCF > 2000	BCF > 5000	Linseed Oil, epoxidisedhas potential to bioaccumulate based on a logKow of > 6.2 (BCF 375).	Yes
T	Long-term NOEC for marine or freshwater organisms < 0.01 mg/l		No long term data.	No
T	CMR	n.a.	On the basis of the hazard assessment, Linseed Oil, epoxidised is not expected to be carcinogenic, mutagenic or a reproductive toxicant.	No
T	Other evidence of chronic toxicity, as identified by the classifications: T, R48, or Xn, R48 according to Directive 67/548/EEC	n.a.	Not classified as T, R48, or Xn, R48 according to Directive 67/548/EEC	No
