Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Genetic toxicity in vitro
Description of key information
According to REACH Annex VII and XI (section 1), an in vitro gene mutation study (required in section 8.4.1) is not considered necessary, since adequate data from an in vivo carcinogenicity study are available showing no neoplastic findings in rats after 2 years of exposure (see summary of study in respective paragraphs). Therefore, the substance can not be genotoxic in vivo, and thus no in vitro study is required.
Additional information
Data are available with the target's analogue sodium ferrocyanide, from a long-term exposure study via feed showing no dose-related carcinogenicity. Since no dose-related carcinogenicity was observed up to the highest concentration (450 mg/kg/day) after exposure for two years, it is concluded that sodium ferrocyanide is not genotoxic and that further testing is not necessary.
Endpoint Conclusion:No adverse effect observed (negative)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data, the target's analogue sodium ferrocyanide was found not to be mutagenic. Therefore potassium ferrocyanide does not need to be classified for mutagenicity according to CLP Regulation (No) EC 1272/2008.
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.
