Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Ethylenediaminediacetic acidis inherently biodegradable based on the results of a Zahn Wellens test published in literature. Ultimate biodegradability was demonstrated in a prolonged ready test.
Additional information
Ultimate biodegradability was demonstrated for Ethylenediaminediacetic acid in a prolonged ready biodegradability test using river water as inoculum. The results from Pitter and Sykora (2001) show that the substance is inherently biodegradable in a Zahn Wellens test. Ethylenediaminediacetic acid does not adsorb to suspended sediment or soil. Half-life determination in simulation tests is therefore not expected to improve the insight in the fate of ED2A in these compartments.
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.
