Additional information

Experimental data on the chronic toxicity aluminium metaphosphate (CAS 13776-88-0) are not available. Based on the absence of acute toxicity and the low bioaccumulation potential a long-term toxicity of the substance is not anticipated. According to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7b: Endpoint specific guidance, R.7.8.5.3 (ECHA, 2014), long-term testing of fish should only be conducted if it represents the most sensitive taxonomic group. The available short-term toxicity studies on fish and Daphnia determined no adverse effect on the test organisms. The results indicate no higher sensitivity of fish compared to Daphnia. Hence due to animal welfare reasons and to avoid unnecessary vertebrate tests, long-term toxicity testing on fish was not conducted.
