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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Additional information
Data about the effects on terrestrial organisms are not available. However, no relevant exposure of the terrestrial compartment is to expect due to controlled conditions during manufacturing an dprocessing. In addition to that the available information indicate that the substance is non-toxic and of low environmental concern.
According to the available information about production and processing of methenamine, and the uses identified, direct releases of methenamine to the terrestrial compartment can practically be excluded. An input via sludge application on agricultural soil is considered to be negligible, too, as methenamine is degraded rapidly and does not adsorb to the sewage sludge to a significant extent. Consequently, an exposure of soil only might occur by atmospheric deposition. As shown in IUCLID5 section 5.1.1 the substance is degraded quickly in the air and transport via air is unlikely. Hence, this pathway of exposing the terrestrial compartment is negligible, too. It can be concluded for all uses considered, that the risk for the terrestrial compartment is low and no further information and/or testing is needed.
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.
