Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
In a GLP study conducted according to EU Method A.1, EDDS acid begain to decompose at approximately 195.2oC (Gair et al. 2002).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In a GLP study conducted according to EU Method A.1, the effects of heating EDDS acid under controlled conditions was examined by the capillary method. The test material began to decompose at approximately 195.2oC therefore no melting point could be measured (Gair et al. 2002).
In a GLP study conducted according to EU Method A1 (Differential thermal analysis), trisodium EDDS decomposes above 311oC (van Helvoirt, 1993a). [Data on trisodium EDDS is considered relevant to use for understanding the potential melting point of EDDS acid, and is acceptable for using as read-across information].
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.
