Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Bioaccumulation of the EDTA metal complexes in biota is not expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Bioaccumulation is not a standard information requirement in Annex VIII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. Furthermore bioaccumulation of the ‘EDTA metal complexes with cobalt, copper, iron, manganese and zinc’ is unlikely, due to the ionic structure.
This confirms an bioaccumulation study with the analog substance EDTA tetra sodium salt (CAS 64-02-8) [Bishop & Maki 1980]. In this test individuals of the sunfish Lepomis macrochirus were exposed to the test item for a period of 28 days. The test resulted in very low BCF values of 1 to 2.
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.
