Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Diss Factsheets

Administrative data

Endpoint:

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
This model uses a linear relationship between log Kow and BCF to predict the BCF of a test substance. This linear relationship applies to substances with a log Kow <6. The linear model has b een validated using a dataset other than the training dataset. For substance with a log Kow >6, the polynomial method has been used.
GLP compliance:
not specified
