See read-across justification report under Section 13 ‘Assessment Reports’.
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
In accordance with REACH Annex XI, Section 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) the standard testing regime may be adapted in cases where a grouping or read-across approach has been applied.
The similarities may be based on:
(1) a common functional group
(2) the common precursors and/or the likelihood of common breakdown products via physical or biological processes, which result in structurally similar chemicals; or
(3) a constant pattern in the changing of the potency of the properties across the category
The source substance and the target substance are considered to be similar enough to facilitate read-across for the following reasons:
1) The source and target substances are both inorganic salts of a monovalent cation from Group 1A of the periodic table, sodium or potassium, and phosphoric acid. Thus, they all share the Na+ or K+ cation and the PO34-. anion as common functional groups.
(2) All members of the group will ultimately dissociate into the common breakdown products of the Na+ or K+ cations and the PO34- anion.
(3) No members of the group are classified for acute toxicity and generally exhibited no mortalities at the classification limit. Two members of the group are classified for local effects only (i.e. skin/eye irritation) which will not have an impact on the systemic toxicity of the compounds and all are highly water soluble. .

- Adult female albino (Wistar derived stock) rats were mated with young adult males. Observation of a vaginal sperm plug was considered as Day 0 of gestation. Dosing by oral intubation with a control (Vehicle at level equivalent to group receiving the highest dose or aspirin at 250 mg/kg) or test article in a water suspension at 2.82, 13.1, 60.7, 282.0 mg/kg was carried out daily on Days 6 to 15 of gestation. Observations of body weight, appearence, behaviour, and food consumption were performed. Daily room temperature was recorded. On Day 20 of gestation all dams underwent Caesarean section. Sex, number of corpora lutea, implantation sites, resorption sites and live/dead foetuses recorded. Body weights of live pups recorded. Urogenital tract of each dam examined for anatomical normality. All foetuses examined grossly for presence of external congenital abnormalities. One third foetuses of each litter underwent detailed visceral examination and the remaining two thirds were cleared in potassium hydroxide, stained with alizarin red S dye and examined for skeletal defects.

Observations of body weight, appearence, behaviour, and food consumption were performed. Daily room temperature and humidity were recorded. On Day 17 of gestation all dams underwent Caesarean section. Sex, number of corpora lutea, implantation sites, resorption sites and live/dead foetuses recorded. Body weights of live pups recorded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the test material admistered to pregnant mice for 10 days up to a dose level of 320 mg/kg bw showed no maternal or developmental toxicity. The NOAEL for both maternal and fetotoxicity is > 370 mg/kg bw.
This study is considered to be of adequate reliability and relevance to be submitted as the key study for this endpoint.
As a study exists for sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate, this study is only submitted as supprting data.
