Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Toxicity to activated sludge microorganisms:
- EC10 (3h) >= 1000 mg/L (EU Method C.11 and OECD guideline 209)
- EC50 (3h) > 1000 mg/L (EU Method C.11 and OECD guideline 209)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A 3h respiration inhibition limit test was performed with a nominal concentration of 1000 mg/L of sodium hypophosphite according to the EU Method C.11 and the OECD guideline 209 (Eisner, 2009).Two controls and a positive control (3,5-dichlorophenol) were tested in parallel.
No significant toxic effects were observed and the results of the positive control confirmed suitability of the activated sludge and the method used. The EC10 (3h) of the test substance to activated sludge microorganisms was at least 1000 mg/L. The EC20, EC50, and EC80 (3h) could not be calculated but were clearly higher than 1000 mg/L.
Therefore, sodium hypophosphite has no significant inhibitory effect on the respiration rate of activated sludge and is thus not toxic to these microorganisms.
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.
