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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Oxidising properties
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising solids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidising properties and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance does not contain oxygen or halogen atoms and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- other:

Description of key information
According to Annex VII of REACH: "The study does not need to be conducted if:
... the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials, for example on the basis of the chemical structure
(e.g. organic substances not containing oxygen or halogen atoms and ...)".
Melamine does not contain oxygen or halogen atoms. Therefore it is unlikely that melamine has oxidizing properties.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- no
Additional information
Relevant CLP criteria are:
"For organic substances or mixtures the classification procedure for this class shall not apply if: (a) the substance or mixture does not contain oxygen, fluorine or chlorine;
or (b) ...". Melamine does not contain oxygen or halogen atoms. Therefore it is unlikely that melamine has oxidizing properties.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Melamine does not contain oxygen or halogen atoms. Therefore it is unlikely - according to REACH and CLP criteria - that melamine has oxidizing properties.
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.
