Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Yttrium oxide is not highly flammable. Furthermore, no pyrophoric properties and flammability in contact with water is expected based on chemical structure and experience during manufacture and use.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
A GLP experimental study, according to EU Method A.10 and scored as Klimisch 1, is selected as a key study and revealed that yttrium oxide is not flammable. Due to the absence of structural alerts, it is highly unlikely that yttrium oxide is flammable in contact to water or in contact with air. Furthermore, under conditions where yttrium oxide is in contact with water or air, no ignition and/or liberation of flammable gases is observed. |
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above data, yttrium oxide does not require a classification regarding its flammable properties, neither under DSD, nor under CLP or UN GHS.
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.
