Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Growth-corrected and lipid-normalised kinetic BCF values of dicumyl peroxide were determined to be 493 and 747 L/kg for 3 and 15 µg/L (nominal concentrations) in a study according to OECD guideline 305 (2012). The value of 747 L/kg is more robust for analytical reasons and should be taken forward to the hazard assessment.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 747 L/kg ww
Additional information
In an older bioaccumulation study (OECD guideline 305 C) of limited reliability, BCF values were determined to be 137–1470 (0.01 mg/L) and 181–667 (0.001 mg/L). These results are supported by QSAR calculations. Not all of them are independent estimates (since dicumyl peroxide being contained in the reference data set), but truly independent VEGA read-across model calculated a BCF of 517. Accordingly, the aggregate information shows that dicumyl peroxide has only a low to moderate bioaccumulation potential.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
