PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
To be considered as PBT, a substance should fulfil the criteria for persistence (P) and bioaccumulation (B) and toxicity (T). As it does not fulfill all criteria, catechol is not a PBTsubstance according to criteria of REACH Annex XIII.
To be considered as vPvB, a substance should fulfil the criteria for persistence (vP) and bioaccumulation (vB). As none of the criteria are fulfilled, catechol is not a vPvB substance according to criteria of REACH Annex XIII.
Consequently, in the case of catechol, there is no need to conduct an emission characterisation and a risk characterisation as a PBT or 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.
