Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
In a test on flammability in contact with water according to the UN guideline, the maximum rate of evolution of flammable gases from ferrosilicon was found to vary from 0.03 l/kg/h to 0.37 l/kg/h. In a test of flammability, according to EU Method A.16, one sample smouldered, but no flame propagation was noted. The smouldering stopped shortly after the burner was removed.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The maximum evolution rate of flammable gases from different grades of ferrosilicon did not fulfil the classification criteria for "substances and mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases" given in the CLP regulation (maximum evolution rate ≥ 1 l/kg h).
The smouldering (no flame propagation) observed in the flammability test does not entitle classification of ferrosilicon as a "flammable solid" according to CLP regulation.
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.
