PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
In the biodegradation test (see section 5.2.1), the substance 1,6-Dichlorohexane is classified as not readily biodegradable in the 10-d-window and after 61 days according to OECD guideline no. 301. However, the biodegradation of the test item came to 54 % after 61 days. In a lower study, the substance showed continuing biodegradation. However, the substance is biodegradable. Thus, based on the available data the substance has to be treated as P, but not as vP.
The n-octanol/water partition coefficient (log Pow) of 1,6 -dichlorohexane was experimentally determined to be 3.5 at 25°C. Thus, 1,6-dichlorohexane is considered to be not B/vB.
The NOEC for freshwater organisms is >0.01 mg/L and the test item is not classified as a CMR or STOT RE substance. Thus, 1,6 -dichlorohexane is considered to be not T.
In conclusion, the substance is considered to be not PBT/vPvB.
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.
