Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 282-015-4 | CAS number: 84082-70-2 Extractives and their physically modified derivatives such as tinctures, concretes, absolutes, essential oils, oleoresins, terpenes, terpene-free fractions, distillates, residues, etc., obtained from Mentha piperita, Labiatae.
PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
Peppermint oil is a Natural Complex Substance (NCS) for which > 98% of the constituents is identified. All identified constituents including those known down to 0.1% are considered for the PBT-vPvB assessment. None of the known constituents of Peppermint oil meets the criteria for P/vP laid down in Annex XIII of REACH. Therefore none of the known constituents of Peppermint oil meets the criteria for vPvB or PBT.
Persistence assessment
Up to 90% of the constituents of this NCS are in the category of ready or rapidly biodegradable substances. Therefore the substance Peppermint oil is considered as readily biodegradable. The one constituent (typically 0.5% of the NCS) that was not readily biodegradable, was shown be complete primary biodegraded by the end of the test and probable transformation products had a low log Kow, so they do not qualify for the B-criterion. Thus none of the known constituents of Peppermint oil are considered P (or vP).
Bioaccumulation assessment
Further B/vB assessment is not relevant as none of the known constituents of Peppermint oil are P (or vP).
Toxicity assessment
None of the known constituents of Peppermint oil meet the criteria for P/vP. Therefore it can be concluded that none of the constituents are PBT or vPvB without further evaluation of the T properties.
- Likely routes of exposure:
Investigation of the likely routes of exposure is not needed as the substance is not PBT or vP/vB.
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).
