Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation above 20% of theoretical (measured as BOD, DOC removal or COD) may be regarded as evidence of inherent, primary biodegradability, whereas biodegradation above 70% of theoretical (measured as BOD, DOC removal or COD) may be regarded as evidence of inherent, ultimate biodegradability. Considering the stringent testing conditions of an OECD 301 test design, the 39% biodegradation as observed for Lanolin alcohols are regarded as sufficient to state that the substance is not persistent. This assumption is supported by the expected metabolic integration / transformation of the test substance. 

Bioaccumulation:

Available data indicate that the substance is not bioaccumulative in a classical sense due to its active metabolic regulation. A

dietary study for Cholesterol, the main component of Lanolin alcohols, is currently beeing is assessed. The results will be integrated in an update dossier as soon as the assessment is finalised. For further information please see technical dossier chapter 5.3.1.

Toxicity:

According to Annex XIII of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, a substance is considered to be toxic in terms of PBT criteria if long-term NOEC values for aquatic organisms are lower than 0.01 mg/L. Data for long term toxicity on algae and fish are available showing no effects up to the limit of water solubility. Long term toxicity data on Daphnia magna is available showing no effects at 100 mg/L nominal loading rate. Therefore the test substance is not considered as a toxic substance regarding ecotoxicological endpoints.

The substance is not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction nor is there any other evidence for chronic toxicity according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (2nd ATP). The criteria for “T” based on mammalian effects are therefore not met.
