Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
bioaccumulation in aquatic species: fish
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with limited documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
The justification for type of information is provided in attachment.

Bioaccumulation experimental study is not a data requirement in accordance with Annexes VII and VIII. BCF prediction is provided in order to support PBT/vPvB assessment under Annex XIII. Although the prediction shows some restrictions in terms of reliability, it's deemed to be adequate to suitably exclude B/vB classification.
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
other: ECHA guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.6: QSARs and grouping of chemicals.
Key result
Type:
BCF
Value:
9 L/kg
Remarks on result:
other: Parameters such as pH value, temperature, etc. are not specified by the QSAR model.

The prediction shows some restrictions in terms of reliability. However, the QSAR model has a tool which allows to quantify the uncertainty in the prediction in order to carry out PBT/vPvB assessment under Annex XIII.

The predicted logBCF is equal to 0.95 (that is 9 L/kg).

For the threshold logBCF = 3.3 (i.e. threshold for B classification), the current compound can be associated (due to its Applicability Domain index value) to a conservative interval of 0.7 log units. On this basis, the compound can be safely classified as not bioaccumulative.

For the threshold logBCF = 3.7 (i.e. threshold for vB classification), the current compound can be associated (due to its Applicability Domain index value) to a conservative interval of 0.5 log units. On this basis, the compound can be safely classified as not very bioaccumulative.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Overall, the predicted BCF (i.e. 9 L/kg) allows to exclude the B/vB classification under Annex XIII of REACH Regulation.
