Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 266-030-3 | CAS number: 65996-95-4 Substance obtained by acidulating phosphate rock with phosphoric acid. Normally characterized as containing 40% or more available phosphoric oxide (P2O5). Composed primarily of calcium phosphate.
PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- PBT assessment does not apply
- Justification:
According to Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, no PBT and vPvB assessment is needed since triple superphosphate is inorganic. Nevertheless a qualitative assessment has been performed to show that the substance is not PBT.
Persistence Assessment
For inorganic salts, including triple superphosphate, the concept of biodegradation is not applicable in general (OECD, 2001).The degradation pathway is through simple dissociation into phosphates and the corresponding cation (Ca2+).
Bioaccumulation assessment
Bioaccumulation and secondary poisoning are not considered significant.Simple inorganic salts with high aqueous solubility will exist in a dissociated form in an aqueous solution. Such a substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation.
Toxicity assessment
There are no long-term data available to assess the parent substance according to the definitive criteria for T for the environment. Short term tests were conducted and based on these tests, the test substance can be regarded as acutely not harmful to aquatic organisms. Short term toxicity data of the substance towards fish, daphnia and algae give an EC/LC50 >100 mg/l. The substance is not considered as T for the environment as the available data (E/LC50 > 100 mg/L) do not meet the screening criteria for T for the environment (E/LC50 <0.1 mg/L).Moreover, the test substance is not classified according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (2nd ATP). Thus, the criteria set out in Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 are not met and the test substance is not considered to meet the T criterion.
Triple superphosphateis not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction nor is there any evidence of chronic toxicity according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Therefore,triple superphosphatedoes not meet the T criterion.
Emission Characterisation
Not relevant, since the substancedoes not fulfil the PBT / vPvB criteria.
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).
