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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
- Relative self-ignition temperature:
- > 400 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other:
- Remarks:
- at atm. press. of 1013.25 hPa
- Conclusions:
- The substance does not ignite when being heated up to 400 °C.
- Endpoint:
- relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Justification for type of information:
- Only the edetic acid moiety of the test item can ignite. Thus it is justified to evaluate the flammability of K3EDTA by a read-across approach to Na2EDTA. The exchange of sodium by potassium cations will not effect the flammability. The exchange of one proton by a potassium cation might lower the flammibility. Thus by this approach the auto flammability will not be underestimated.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
- Relative self-ignition temperature:
- > 400 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other:
- Remarks:
- at atm. press. of 1013.25 hPa
- Conclusions:
- The substance does not ignite when being heated up to 400 °C.

Description of key information
auto flammability K3EDTA: >400°C at 1013.3 hPa
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Based on a read-across from the related substance disodiumdihydrogenethylenediaminetetraacetate a self-ignition temperature range of >400°C was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol and in compliance with GLP.
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).
