Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The EC50 for toxicity to STP microorganisms exceeded the highest test concentration of 1000 mg/L and the NOEC was 1000 mg/L, based on read across using sodium ferrocyanide as the source substance.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for microorganisms:
- 1 000 mg/L
Additional information
The toxicity of Sodium ferrocyanide to STP microorganisms was determined in a 3 h activated sludge respiration inhibition study carried out according to OECD guideline No. 209 and GLP principles.
In a combined limit/range-finding test, microorganisms in activated sludge were exposed to the test substance at a concentration of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L under static conditions. Under the chosen test conditions Sodium ferrocyanide did not significantly inhibited the respiration rate of waste water bacteria (activated sludge) at concentrations as high as 1000 mg/L. The EC50 exceeded the highest test concentration of 1000 mg/L and the NOEC was 1000 mg/L.
Although, not all criteria for acceptability of the test were fully met the test was still considered to be valid. The present toxicity study is classified as reliable without restrictions according to the OECD guideline No. 209.
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).
