Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Effects on fertility

Description of key information
Not required.
Additional information

Within the scope of a comprehensive and valid testing programme, the test item sodium silicoaluminate was examined for embryotoxic and developmental effects during the gestation phase in various animals species (rat, mouse, rabbit and hamster) at an oral dose of 1600 mg/kg bw/day. There were no significant signs of maternal or embryotoxic/developmental effects. The number of abnormalities seen in either soft or skeletal tissues of the test groups did not differ from the frequencies occuring spontaneously in the control animals (FDA 1973).


Short description of key information:
No data.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information
NOAEL (maternal toxicity) ≥ 1600 mg/kg bw/day (for rat, mouse, rabbit and hamster) (FDA 1973)
NOAEL (teratogenicity) ≥ 1600 mg/kg bw/day (for rat, mouse, rabbit and hamster) (FDA 1973)

Justification for classification or non-classification

The experimental data on intra-uterine development produced in rat, mouse, rabbit and hamster suggest that there is no potential for adverse effects on embryonal/foetal development arising from exposure to synthetic amorphous silica.

Therefore, it is not expected that silicic acid, aluminium magnesium salt produces adverse effects on the reproductive performance or embryonic/foetal development in experimental animals. No classification is required.
