Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Non flammable (based on flash point) and structural formula.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Testing for this endpoint has been waived because the study is scientifically unjustified. The substance is a liquid, and the key value for flammability of liquids is the flash point, which is 76 °C. An expert statement has also concluded that based on the structural formula Aldehyde C9 Nonylic Food Grade is not expected to be flammable.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Annex I, section 2.6, "Flammable liquid means a liquid having a flash point of not more than 60 °C". The flash point (see section 4.11), 76 °C, is higher than this value and so the substance should not be classified as a flammable liquid. However, in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Annex I, section 2.3, if used in an aerosol, the substance should be classified as flammable because the flash point is ≤ 93 °C. The substance is a liquid under standard conditions (see section 4.1) with a freezing point of -18.8 °C (see section 4.2), so the substance should not be classified as a flammable solid. The substance has a low vapour pressure of 2 hPa (see section 4.6), so the substance should not be classified as a flammable gas.
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.
