Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
Persistence
In a ready biodegradation test (EU Method C.4-F, MITI test), C12 AAPB showed to be biodegraded between 82% (based on ThOD) and 95% (based on COD) after 28 days. Based on these experimental results, C12 AAPB can be considered as readily biodegradable and thus, to be not P and not vP.
Bioaccumulation
Measured BCFs are not available for the C8-18 derivates of AAPB. Still, these derivates fall in the range of applicability of a scientifically valid (Q)SAR model: BCFWIN. Therefore, BCFWIN v2.15 was used to calculate the BCF values for the C8-C18 derivates of AAPB. The calculation yielded values in the range between 3 (C8 fatty acid derivate) and 71 (C10 – C18 and C18 unsaturated fatty acid derivates). Based on these calculated BCFs, a low potential for bioaccumulation is to be expected for AAPBs. This conclusion especially applies to C12 AAPB and is further supported by a log Kow value of 3.54 (≤ 4.5) estimated using the chemical properties prediction software ACD/Labs v12 and the experimentally determined Koc of C12 AAPB. Based on these (Q)SAR results, C12 AAPB can be considered to be not B and not vB.
Toxicity
Measured long-term ecotoxicity data are not available for C12 AAPB. Still, an analogy can be made with C8-18 AAPB for which such data are available and showed to be in the range between 0.135 mg/L (Oncorhynchus mykiss: 28-day NOEC) and 0.300 mg/L (Daphnia magna: 21-day NOEC), well above 0.01 mg/L. Besides, the substance is not classified as carcinogenic (category 1 or 2), mutagenic (category 1or 2), or toxic for reproduction (category 1, 2 or 3) according to Directive 67/548/EEC or carcinogenic (category 1A or 1B), germ cell mutagenic (category 1A or 1B), or toxic for reproduction (category 1A, 1B or 2) according to Regulation EC No 1272/2008. Moreover, there is no evidence that the substance exhibits chronic toxicity, as identified by the classifications T, R48 or Xn, R48 according to Directive 67/548/EEC or specific target organ toxicity after repeated exposure (STOT RE category 1 or 2) according to Regulation EC No 1272/2008. Based on these results, C12 AAPB can be considered to be not T.
Conclusion
Based on available data, C12 AAPB is not P/vP (readily biodegradable), B/vB (calculated BCF < 2000; estimated log Kow ≤ 4.5) and not T (NOEC ≥ 0.01 mg/L for marine/freshwater organisms by analogy with C8-18 AAPB; not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction). Consequently, C12 AAPB does not meet the PBT or vP/vB criteria according to Annex XIII of the REACH Regulation.
