PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- Name:
- Benzyl benzoate
- Type of composition:
- legal entity composition of the substance
- State / form:
- liquid
- Related composition:
- Benzyl benzoate
- Reference substance:
- Benzyl benzoate
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
This substance is not considered to be a PBT/vPvB substance based on the information below:
Persistence
The substance has been shown to be readily biodegradable. As such, the substance is likely to rapidly degrade in the environment and therefore is not considered to be persistent.
Bioaccumulation
Benzyl benzoate has a log Kow of 4 and therefore is not likely to have a significant potential for bioaccumulation. Further to this, the BCF for benzyl benzoate was estimated with BCFBAF v3.01 to be 193.4 L/kg (log BCF = 2.286), indicating that the substance will not bioaccumulate in any significant way.
Toxicity
The substance has NOEC values for freshwater >0.01 mg/L and is not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic to reproduction. As such, it is not considered to be toxic (T) under REACH Annex XIII.
