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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The substance was determined to be 'not highly flammable' by ignition in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with EC.A10.
In GLP expert statements it was concluded that the substance has no pyrophoric properties and is not highly flammable in contact with water as the substance lacks structural alerts for these properties, and experience in handling showed that the substance does not react with water nor ignite spontaneously when coming into contact with air at normal temperatures. The UN/EC tests for flammability in contact with water or pyrophoric properties do not need to be performed.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
The EC A.10 test is essentially the same as the UN MTC N.1 test as wetted zone (N.1 test) is of no relevance in case of no (propagation of) combustion.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Because the substance is not flammable by ignition, classification as a flammable solid is not necessary. Based on the absence of structural alerts and based on experience in handling, the substance does not have to be classified as a pyrophoric solid or as a substance which in contact with water emits flammable gases.
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.
