Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Determination of a BCF follows Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Chapter R.16: Environmental Exposure Estimation (ECHA 2008) and Chapter R. 7c Endpoint Specific Guidance (ECHA 2008). Chapter R.16.5.3.5 states that there may be bioaccumulation potential if log Kow is >3. The Log Kow for 2-decyltetradecanol is a calculated value using EPI Suite of 10.59 (see Section 4.7). According to REACH Annex IX, bioaccumulation information is required for substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 100 t/y or more.
Chapter R.7c states that BCFs can be determined experimentally, by calculation using Kow, or by estimating using BCF models such as QSARs. BCFs and a BAF are calculated using regression-based approach and the Arnot-Gobas model using EPI Suite software.
EPI Suite (regression-based estimate)
The BCFBAF version 3.00 programme of the EPI Suite software (EPIWEB 4.0) was used to predict a log BCF of 1.769 (BCF of 58.7) based on a regression estimate using a calculated Log Kow of 10.59 (derived in EPI Suite).
EPI Suite (Arnot-Gobas upper trophic estimate)
The BCFBAF version 3.00 programme of the EPI Suite software (EPIWEB 4.0) was used to predict a log BCF (upper trophic) of 0.454 (BCF of 2.845 L/kg ww).
The calculated BCFs indicate that 2-decyltetradecanol is unlikely to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. This is supported by published literature (see Section 5.3 for further details).
The following information is taken into account for any hazard / risk / bioaccumulation assessment:
A BCF of 58.7 L/kg was calculated for 2-decyltetradecanol using EPI Suite software (EPIWEB 4.0), which indicated that 2-decyltetradecanol is unlikely to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 58.7 L/kg ww
Additional information
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.
