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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 946-046-3 | CAS number: -
Categories
- Category name:
- Sulphophthalic Acid and Salts
Justifications and discussions
- Category definition:
- The read across follows Scenario 5 - Qualitatively and quantitatively similar effects are caused by a common compound, which is formed from all category members (as described in the 2017 Read-Across Assessment Framework document).
- Category description:
- All category members are highly water soluble and have similar use patterns. Therefore, direct read-across can be used for most endpoints and is in accordance of Annex XI, 1.5 of the REACH Regulation.
- Category rationale:
- Sulfophthalic acid sodium and ammonium salts are different organic salts of a common acid, sulfophthalic acid. The salts dissociate rapidly in the medium (water) to the common sulfophthalic acid anion and to their different counter ions. Sulfophthalic acid and salts dissociate to sulfophthalic anion function in aqueous solutions and depending of the degree of the sulfophthalic acid salt substitution [e.g. one (mono), two (di), or three (tri)] the dissociation reaction could produce one to three counter ions (sodium or ammonium).
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.
