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: overall result

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

Based on its physical-chemical properties (high volatility and low potential for sorption to soil and sediment), perfluoroethane will partition to the air compartment, and therefore, water, soil, or sediment compartments are not considered environmentally relevant. Perfluoroethane would be viewed as not P and not vP. 


Based on high volatility and a log Kow < 3.0, the test substance can be expected to have low potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic and terrestrial organisms, and therefore perfluoroethane would be viewed as not B and not vB.


Based on available information, perfluoroethane is not classified for  aquatic or mammalian effect, therefore, perfluoroethane would be viewed as not T
