Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Bioaccumulation of HFE 601 was examined in two studies, a preliminary test conducted with limited scope and a final test with a larger sample size and more time points. Both studies were based on OECD 305 methods and used flow-through exposure. However, both studies used a cosolvent and a dispersing aid. Neither agent is approved for use in OECD 305. In particular, the dispersing aid was a perfluorooctanesulfonamide-based surfactant, which is not appropriate or relevant for biological systems. The combination of both agents is irregular, and neither study is considered reliable. Both studies are disregarded. However, a measured Henry's Law constant of 2770 at 22 °C (dimensionless. In standard units, 6.79E+06 Pa∙m³/mol) indicates that HFE 602 is not compatible with aqueous solution and will rapidly volatilize from any open system. Bioaccumulation of HFE 602 is not expected in natural aquatic systems due to lack of exposure caused by extreme volatility.
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.
