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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Administrative data

Description of key information
Similar salts show effects to algae from 50 mg/l. It is not known if this is a genuine hazardous effect or simply slowing growth by preventing light.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 50 mg/L
Additional information
From assessment of similar sulphonated azo substances, there is no indication that CJ321 need not be classified as hazardous to aquatic organisms on the basis of effects to aquatic plants. Although some references show an inhibition of growth rates biomass at concentrations below 100 mg/l, it is considered very likely that this is mainly due to absorption of light at wavelengths liked to photosynthesis.
The potassium / sodium salt resulted in effects in the range 10 – 100 mg/l and is classified Aquatic Chronic 3. This may be due to the aminosulphonyl group which is not present in the other assessed dyes, so in the absence of further data, it is recommended to classify CJ321 on this basis.
The read-across is valid and is backed up by review documents, including an assessment of azo dyes by the Danish EPA that conclude low environmental toxicity to aquatic organisms.
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.
