Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
An evaluation of the inherent properties of propylene carbonate is performed against the ANNEX XIII criteria. If insufficient data were available, the screening criteria as laid down in ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.11: PBT Assessment (2008) were applied.
The available evidence on degradation is not sufficient for an assessment based on the Annex XIII criteria for persistence (P and vP). As the substance is concluded to be readily biodegradable and appears to be hydrolytically stable, it can be considered not P and not vP.
Based on the log Pow of the substance (-0.41), not fulfilling the screening criterium, the substance can be concluded to have a low potential for bioaccumulation (not B/vB).
Finally, because the substance does not fulfill the screening criterium based on acute toxicity for being considered as T, and does not fulfill two of the three Annex XIII criteria (classification for hazardous properties for human health), enough evidence is available for concluding that the substance is not T.
As a conclusion, taking into account the conclusions that the substance is not P or vP and also not considered B/vB or T, propylene carbonate 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).
