Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
Data referring to the toxicity towards microorganisms of the target substance was only indirectly assessed for the inherent biodegradation study.
However, sufficient data from a read-across substance can be used to fill this data gap. The toxicity of the read-across substance EDTA-MnNa2 to activated sludge was investigated in an activated sludge respiration inhibition test, conducted according to OECD TG 209 under GLP (Geerts, 2010). In this test, no inhibition of the respiration of the activated sludge was measured at the highest concentration tested, i.e. 640 mg/L. EDTA-MnNa2 is therefore considered not harmful to activated sludge.
This conclusion is confirmed by the inherent biodegradation study of Mn(II)IDHA according to OECD Guideline 302B (Chojnacka, 2014). A solution of Mn(II)IDHA in a mineral medium was inoculated with activated sludge and incubated under aerobic conditions for 28 days. The test substance was the sole source of organic carbon. In addition to the investigations referring to the degradation of the test substance, a toxicity control (containing 100 mg DOC/L of Mn(II)IDHA and also 100 mg DOC/L of the easily biodegradable substance benzoic acid, sodium salt) was performed. Due to the fact that benzoic acid, sodium salt and Mn(II)IDHA were degraded (57.8 % degradation after 28 days, based on DOC), the substance Mn(II)IDHA had no toxic effects on the microorganisms. The corresponding result (NOEC (28 d) = 100 mg DOC/L) shows that the substance is not harmful to activated sludge.
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.
