Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
Assessment of PBT/vPvB Properties
The assessment of PBT/vPvB properties has been done on the basis of the data available from the testing programme, in order to evaluate the PBT/vPvB properties of the substance. The assessment refers to the principles laid down in the “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Parc C: PBT Assessment and Chapter 11: PBT Assessment”.
Persistent Assessment
The persistence assessment has been done using the following data:
Water
Ready biodegradability study: the substance is not considered ready biodegradable under the condition applied in a OECD 301D test, because it did not reach the pass level (60% biodegradation)(only 11.7 after 28 d) in the 10-day window. However the substance showed a maximum value of 11 % of biodegradation under this period, leading to consider that some initial biotic degradation started during the test.
Hydrolysis versus pH:
The substance is not considered to hydrolyse easily as t1/2 (pH 7): 15.8 yr at 25 °C and t1/2 (pH 9): 15.8 yr at 25 °C were predicted.
The persistence in the water compartment cannot be totally excluded on the basis of the over-mentioned criteria even if a preliminary biodegradation has been observed. Nevertheless the environmental distribution assessment shows that 1,2-dichloropropane is expected to distribute primarily in air .
No degradation products are expected as no hydrolytic behaviour has been recorded.
Based on the available data, the substance meets the criteria of Annex XIII of Regulation EC 1907/2006 for the classification as “Persistent”.
Bioaccumulation Assessment
The bioaccumulation assessment was performed based on the following data:
Partition Coefficient octanol/water (Pow): Log Pow values are lower than the threshold level of 4.5 as indicated in the PBT assessment guidance.
Bioaccumulation test (BCF data): The carp (fish)(freshwater) test with flow-through method for a Total uptake duration of 42 d(as for OECD Guideline 305 C, Bioaccumulation: Test for the Degree of Bioconcentration in Fish) resulted in a BCF value of 0.5 — 7.
Therefore, a direct comparison with Annex XIII criteria cannot be done with the available data, but a direct comparison is possible with screening criteria for B or vB as described in the PBT Guidance.
Based on the available data, the substance does not meet the criteria of Annex XIII of Regulation EC 1907/2006 for the classification as“Bioaccumulative”
Toxicity Assessment
The toxicity assessment has been performed using the following information:
a) Evidence of classification from mammalians studies: the substance is not classified as a toxic chemical;
b) Classification for carcinogenesis, mutagenesis or reproductive toxicity: the substance is not a CMR;
c) Acute eco-toxicological studies performed at the solubility levels:
- Acute toxicity in fish : LC50= 139 mg/L
- Acute toxicity in daphnia : 48 h EC50= 2.7 mg/L
- Acute toxicity in algae: EC50 > 7.95 mg/L; NOEC = 7.95 mg/L
All acute data from eco-toxicological experimental studies are well higher than 0.01 mg/L set by the guidance and leading to a classification due to the daphnia acute study result values.
Based on the available data, the substance does not meet the criteria of Annex XIII of Regulation EC 1907/2006 for the classification as “Toxic”.
Summary and overall conclusions on PBT or vPvB properties
The assessment of PBT/vPvB properties has been done on the basis of the data available from the testing programme.
An overall estimation of the available data/information lead to consider that they do not allow a direct comparison with all the criteria in Annex XIII but nevertheless indicates that the substance does not have these properties on the whole.
Conclusion :
the substance is not a PBT or vPvB substance.
Emission Characterisation
Because the substance does not fulfil the PBT and vPvB criteria, no emission characterisation has been performed.
