PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- Name:
- Phenylacetaldehyde
- Type of composition:
- legal entity composition of the substance
- State / form:
- liquid
- Reference substance:
- Phenylacetaldehyde
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
The PBT Assessment for the substance is based on the criteria set out in the “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT Assessment” (ECHA, 2014).
Persistency assessment
One experimental study is available investigating the biodegradability of the substance. The study was performed according to OECD 301D (GLP). After 28 d the substance was degraded to 69% (O2 consumption) meeting the 14-day window indicating that the substance is readily biodegradable according to the OECD criteria. Thus, the substance is not considered to meet the P/vP criteria based on the available data.Bioaccumulation
The substance has a log Kow of 1.44 (OECD 117). In accordance with the ECHA Guidance R.11 substances with a log Kow of < 4.5 are not considered to be B/vB. Thus, the substance is not considered to be B/vB based on the screening criteria.Toxicity
Aquatic studies are available for three trophic levels. All acute effect concentrations were clearly > 0.1 mg/L (lowest EC50 (72 h): 1.6 mg/L). Moreover, the substance is not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction (CMR) and the substance is not considered to be P/vP and B/vB. Thus, in accordance with ECHA Guidance R.11 no further assessment is necessary.
Reference
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).
