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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The substance has no structural alerts for mutagenicity. In addition, in vitro studies performed on the substance were GLP compliant, performed according to recommended guidelines and were of a high quality (Klimisch = 1). It is therefore considered that these results are applicable to humans. No further testing is required.
Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
No study was selected since all three in vitro studies (Klimisch 1) were negative.
Short description of key information:
THe following studies were performed and all showed the test material to be clearly negative both with and without metabolic activation.
Bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) - OECD TG 471
Chromosome Aberration Test in Human Lymphocytes in vitro - OECD TG 473
Mammalian cell gene mutation assay in vitro (mouse lymphoma assay) - OECD TG 476
Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Phosphoric acid was found to be negative in all available in vitro gene mutation tests and therefore, the substance should not be classified for mutagenicity.
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.
