Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the chemical structure and the list of reactive groups that could have explosive properties (e.g. continuos nitrogen atoms) in Brethericks Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, Butterworths, 4th edition, it cannot be excluded that the substance Direct Red 254 TEA salt has explosive properties.
The determination of the thermal stability of the test substance by DSC-HP (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) showed an exothermic phenomenon from 197°C with a peak at 208°C and an associated heat of 362.9 kJ/kg which could be attributed to the thermal decomposition of the sample. This value is therefore below the limit of 500 kJ/kg needed for exclusion given in the Regulation and classify the substance as non-explosive.
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.
