Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
EDDS and its trisodium salt do not contain any chemically instable or high energetic groups that might lead to an explosion.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study (required in section 7.11) does not need to be conducted as there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule.
In addition, the explosive properties of trisodium EDDS have been assessed from its molecular formula. According to an Expert statement, trisodium EDDS does not contain any chemically instable or high energetic groups that might lead to an explosion. Therefore, it can be concluded that trisodium EDDS is not explosive (van Helvoirt, 1993f). [Data on trisodium EDDS is considered relevant to use for understanding the potential explosiveness of EDDS acid, and is acceptable for using as read-across information].
Justification for classification or non-classification
As EDDS and its trisodium salt do not contain any chemically instable or high energetic groups that might lead to an explosion, they would not be classified as explosive substances according to EU CLP or DSD regulations.
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.
