Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

According to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) Annex VII, section 9.2.1.1, column 2, the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is inorganic.

Additional information

The substance manganese monoglycinate sulfate is constituted of two main components, glycine and manganese sulfate. Manganese monoglycinate sulfate is considered to dissociate in aqueous solutions thus, in biodegradation screening tests the single components are tested. Manganese sulfate is inorganic and thus testing for biodegradation is technically not feasible. The other component glycine is an ubiquitously occurring amino acid which is known to be readily metaboilised by virtually every organism (common textbooks of biochemistry). Furthermore it was shown to be readily biodegraded by activated sludge (Carlson & Polkowski 1962; Malaney, 1969; Placak & Ruchhoft, 1947; Bernheim et al., 1935). Based on these information the amino acid salt manganese monoglycinate sulfate is not considered to be less biodegradabble than its main contsituent.
