Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
Zirconium acetate consists of an organic and an inorganic part. The organic acetate part of the molecule is readily biodegradable. For the inorganic part (zirconium) the criteria for PBT or vPvB identification of Annex XIII to the REACH regulation do not apply.
The organic part of zirconium acetate is proven to be readily biodegradable in an OECD 301B test. The available evidence on degradation is not sufficient for an assessment based on the Annex XIII criteria for persistence (P and vP). However, since the substance (acetate part) is demonstrated to be readily biodegradable, the screening criteria for P and vP are not met and hence it can be concluded that the substance is not P or vP.
The available evidence on bioaccumulation potential for the acetate part of the molecule is not sufficient for an assessment based on the Annex XIII criteria for this endpoint. Following its very low log Kow however, the screening criteria for bioaccumulative potential (B and vB) are not met and hence it can be concluded that the substance is not B or vB.
The available evidence on the toxicity potential for the acetate part of the molecule is sufficient for an assessment based on the Annex XIII criteria for this endpoint. The assessment shows that the screening criteria for toxicity potential (T) are met.
Based on the above, zirconium acetate should not be considered as a PBT/vPvB substance.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
