Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 918-481-9 | CAS number: -
Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- 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 adequate and reliable documentation / justification
- Justification for type of information:
- The substance is a hydrocarbon UVCB. Standard tests for this endpoint are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for this complex substance. However, this endpoint is fulfilled using quantitative structure property relationships for representative hydrocarbon structures. The BCFBAF 3.01 model is a well characterised and generally accepted bioaccumulation prediction model, used by the USEPA, the OECD and recommended by ECHA. The SMILES input data for the BCFBAF 3.01 model is obtained from the PETRORISK Product Library (see OECD QSAR Toolbox report in 'Attached full study report' and PETRORISK report attached in IUCLID section 13).
- Qualifier:
- no guideline required
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Software tool(s) used including version: OECD QSAR Toolbox Version 4.4.1
Model(s) used: BCFBAF v3.01 – Arnot-Gobas model which was corrected to 5% lipid content in fish.
The SMILES input data for the BFBAF3.01 model is obtained from the PETRORISK Product Library (see OECD QSAR Toolbox report in ‘Attached full study report’ and PETRORISK report attached in IUCLID section 13). - GLP compliance:
- no
- Remarks:
- (Q)SAR
- Key result
- Type:
- BCF
- Value:
- >= 44.6 - <= 5 361.88 L/kg
- Remarks on result:
- other: normalized to a 5% lipid content in fish
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not applicable
- Conclusions:
- The calculated BCF of this substance ranges from 44.60 - 5361.88 L/kg.
- Executive summary:
The substance is a hydrocarbon UVCB. Standard tests for this endpoint are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for this complex substance. However, this endpoint is fulfilled using quantitative structure property relationships for representative hydrocarbon structures. The BCFBAF 3.01 model is a well characterised and generally accepted bioaccumulation prediction model, used by the USEPA, the OECD and recommended by ECHA. The SMILES input data for the BCFBAF 3.01 model is obtained from the PETRORISK Product Library (see OECD QSAR Toolbox report in 'Attached full study report' and PETRORISK report attached in IUCLID section 13).
The calculated BCF of this substance ranges from 44.60 - 5361.88 L/kg.

Description of key information
Hydrocarbons, C10 -C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics are hydrocarbon UVCB's. Standard tests for this endpoint are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for this complex substance. However, this endpoint is fulfilled using quantitative structure property relationships for representative hydrocarbon structures. The BCFBAF 3.01 model is a well characterised and generally accepted bioaccumulation prediction model, used by the USEPA, the OECD and recommended by ECHA. The SMILES input data for the BCFBAF 3.01 model is obtained from the PETRORISK Product Library (see OECD QSAR Toolbox report in 'Attached full study report' and PETRORISK report attached in IUCLID section 13).
The calculated BCF of Hydrocarbons, C10 -C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics ranges from 44.60 - 5361.88 L/kg.
The BCFWIN v2.16 model within EPISuite 3.12 has been used to estimate the bioaccumulation potential of a number of representative substances. This data is used as a weight of evidence alongside the data reported above.
The calculated BCF of decane is 144.3 L/kg. This value indicates that decane is not considered a bioaccumulative substance.
The calculated BCF of undecane is 337.8 L/kg. This value indicates that undecane is not considered a bioaccumulative substance.
The calculated BCF of dodecane is 790.9 L/kg. This value indicates that dodecane is not considered a bioaccumulative substance.
The calculated BCF of tetradecane is 962.9 L/kg. This value indicates that tetradecane is not considered a bioaccumulative substance.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
