Copper, [29H,31H-phthalocyaninato(2-)-N29,N30,N31,N32]-, aminosulfonyl sulfo derivs., ammonium sodium salts

Stability: thermal, sunlight, metals

Administrative data

Endpoint:

stability: thermal, sunlight, metals, other

Type of information:

read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)

Adequacy of study:

weight of evidence

Reliability:

4 (not assignable)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

The test method is commonly used in other than REACH Regulation context for the thermal stability characterization and it can be considered as scientifically acceptable. Nevertheless, only the test sheet is available. The original report is no more available and many information are missing.

Justification for type of information:

REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The usage of information on Direct Blue 199_Na, which has the same main component and with a different counter ion, can be considered as suitable and appropriated because the difference in salification is expected to not influence the characteristics related to the specific end-point.
The impurity profile does not impact on the read across proposed. Details on the approach followed are included in the document attached to the IUCLID section 13.

Cross-reference

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

other: The test was performed for the same purpose of the Multi-radex dynamic test. A comparison between decomposition reactions was performed in order to reach a conclusion.
