Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

An oral LD50 value of >2000 mg/kg bw was reported for [cyclohexane-1,2-diylbis[nitrilobis(methylene)]]tetrakisphosphonic acid, sodium salt in a reliable limit test conducted according to the now deleted OECD test guideline 401, and in compliance with GLP (Safepharm, 1992). 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Acute toxicity: via oral route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
2 000 mg/kg bw

Acute toxicity: via inhalation route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Acute toxicity: via dermal route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

The key acute oral toxicity study (Safepharm, 1992) was conducted according to the now deleted OECD test guideline 401. Sprague-Dawley rats (5 animals/sex) were given the test substance as an oral gavage dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The animals were then observed for mortality and clinical signs of toxicity for 14 days. A necropsy examination was conducted on each animal following the 14 day observation period. There were no deaths, no signs of toxicity, and growth and necropsy findings were normal. The LD50 for male and female animals was therefore >2000 mg/kg bw.

There are no acute toxicity studies for the dermal and inhalation routes of exposure.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The key study was conducted according to the now deleted OECD test guideline 401 and in compliance with GLP.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the acute oral toxicity study results classification for acute toxicity is not required for [cyclohexane-1,2-diylbis[nitrilobis(methylene)]]tetrakisphosphonic acid, sodium salt under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
