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

As the criteria for ready biodegradation are not fulfilled (despite the indications for a - at least limited - biodegradability), the substances are considerer to fulfil the P (not vP) criterion. Neither biophysical (log Pow, molecular size) nor toxicokinetic criteria (potential for metabolism) are compatible with a potential for bioaccumulation and as the members of the Montan waxes category are neither toxic nor ecotoxic, they are regarded as

• P (not vP)

• Not B

• Not T.

In conclusion, the members of the Montan waxes category show neither PBT nor vPvB characteristics.

Likely routes of exposure:

Exposure considerations not required as the substance is not PBT / vPvB.
