Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The respiration activity of micro-organisms present in sewage effluent was not inhibited during 5 days of exposure to 10 mg substance/l in an OECD TG301D study. The NOEC = 10 mg/l
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 10 mg/L
Additional information
The inhibitory effect to the respiration of microorganisms was tested at 2 and 10 mg/l following the conditions of an OECD TG301D Closed Bottle Test under GLP. After 5 days the mineralisation of sodium benzoate was 57% of ThOD indicating that the inoculum was viable. In the presence of test material at 2 and 10 mg/l, degradation of benzoate was unaffected, which indicates that the test material was not inhibitory to the bacterial inoculum. Therefore, the test material is not considered inhibitory to the inoculum at a concentration of 10 mg/l (NOEC).
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.
