Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

PBT assessment: overall result

PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

Persistence Assessment

A substance is not considered to be persistent if it can be demonstrated that it has potential to degrade (via photolysis, hydrolysis and/or biodegradation). The substance Acacia mearnsi extract was found to be readily biodegradable in an OECD 301B and OECD 301D with 100% degradation respectively in 20 and 28 days. Therefore, based on initial persistence screening Acacia mearnsi extract is not expected to meet the Persistent (P) or very Persistent (vP) criteria.

Bioaccumulation Assessment

The study (Klimish 1, GLP laboratory) concerning the estimatation of the partition coefficient n-octanol/water (Kow) with HPLC method (OECD guideline 117) showed a log Kow less than 3, potential for bioaccumulation is thus low. Therefore Acacia mearnsi extract is neither Bioaccumulative (B) nor very Bioaccumulative (vB).

Toxicity Assessment

Substance does not meet screening criteria. Acute aquatic toxicity (LC50 and EC50) >0.1mg/l. Substance is neither carcinogenic, mutagenic nor teratogenic. Therefore Substance is not Toxic (T).

Summary and overall Conclusions on PBT or vPvB Properties

Substance does not meet the screening criteria for persistency nor toxicity so is neither PBT nor vPvB.

Likely routes of exposure:

The substance is not PBT / vPvB
