3.7.1.2. Bioaccumulation

An active substance, safener or synergist fulfils the bioaccumulation criterion where there is: evidence that its bio-concentration factor or bioaccumulation factor in aquatic species is greater than 5000 or, in the absence of such data, that the partition coefficient n-octanol/water (log Ko/w) is greater than 5, or evidence that the active substance, safener or synergist present other reasons for concern, such as high bioaccumulation in other non-target species, high toxicity or ecotoxicity.
