Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information
Significant accumulation in organisms is not to be expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Based on a measured partition coefficient of 0.48 (at 25°C; BASF AG, 1998; report: 104217/04), (diethylamino)acetonitrile has a low potential for bioaccumulation or bioconcentration.
In accordance with column 2 of Annex IX, the study on "bioaccumulation in aquatic species, preferably fish" does not need to be conducted if the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation (for instance a log Kow <= 3) and/or a low potential to cross biological membranes.
(Diethylamino)acetonitrile has a low potential for bioaccumulation as the log Kow was measured to be < 3. Therefore, and for reasons of animal welfare, no bioaccumulation test with fish is conducted.
In addition, according to chapter 2, article 17 of REACH regulation (EC) no. 1907-2006, a study is not required for on-site isolated intermediates.
However, in order to assess the bioaccumulation potential of the test substance, the BCF was calculated with several estimation models. The table below lists the applied (Q)SAR models, the estimated BCF values and basic information on the applicability domain (AD). Detailed information on the model’s results and the AD are given in the endpoint study records of IUCLID Chapter 5.3.1. The selected models comply with the OECD principles for (Q)SAR models.

Based on a weight-of-evidence approach from calculated data, it can be concluded that significant accumulation in organisms is not to be expected.
QSAR-disclaimer
In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met. Furthermore according to Article 25 of the same Regulation testing on vertebrate animals shall be undertaken only as a last resort.
According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.
For the assessment of (diethylamino)acetonitrile (Q)SAR results were used for aquatic bioaccumulation.The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.
Therefore, and for reasons of animal welfare, further experimental studies on aquatic bioaccumulation are not provided.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
