Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicological information

Genetic toxicity: in vitro

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
not reported
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Remarks:
Data from a report from a recognised body reviewed by a panel of experts. Although there is limited detail on materials and methods included in the publication, the conclusions drawn from the CICADS document are considered to be reliable and representative of the mutagenic potential of the substance.
Cross-reference
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
other: read across: target
Reference
Endpoint:
in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
The source material is sodium iodate and the target is sodium periodate. The analogue approach has been used due to the predicted common breakdown products specifically iodine and the sodium in the target material are historically established to have similar properties. Once injested, the materials are anticipated to form the same breakdown products.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Key result
Species / strain:
not specified
Metabolic activation:
not specified
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
not specified
Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative

The publication reported that sodium iodate showed no mutagenic activity by the Ames test.
Executive summary:

The publication reported that sodium iodate showed no mutagenic activity by the Ames test. No information is provided on experimental materials and methods.
