Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
As the substance decomposes in water by evolution of oxygen, the testing can be waived. - Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: no guideline available (Handbook data)
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Test procedure:
- other: not determinable as the substance is an oxidizing agent
- Remarks on result:
- other: The peroxide substances are chemical compounds that are characterized by their strong oxidising properties. They cause the burning of a combustible substance by reaction with it. Thus they are not flammable compounds.
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The peroxide substances are chemical compounds that are characterized by their strong oxidising properties. They cause the burning of a combustible substance by reaction with it. Thus they are not flammable compounds.

Description of key information
The peroxide substances are chemical compounds that are characterized by their strong oxidising properties. They cause the burning of a combustible substance by reaction with it. Thus they are not flammable compounds.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
The properties of the peroxides are essentially due to the two bonded oxygen atoms which forms the peroxy group. The peroxides are known to have oxidative properties and cause the burning of a combustible substance by reaction with it. The organic peroxides can be considered as flammable substances because they have and their own structure the carbon part considered as the fuel and the peroxy part considered as the oxidizer of the combustion. At the other hand, the inorganic peroxy compounds can not be flammable because they do not have the fuel part in their structure. Thus they are not flammable compounds.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance SrO2 is not classified under GHS criteria as the substance is a strong oxidizing agent and is not combustible.
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).
