Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
flammable gases
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a solid
Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Data waiving:

Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water

Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Description of key information

Sodium lactate is a non-flammable substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

The test item is not classified as a flammable solid, flammable gas, pyrophoric liquid, pyrophoric solid, self-heating substance or as substance which emits flammable gases in contact with water. The substance to be registered as such is a solid. However, the marketed product is an aqueous solution which cannot be transformed into a solid substance (by evaporation) due to strong hygroscopic properties of Sodium lactate. Thus, in accordance with REACH Annex XI, section 2, it is technically not possible to test the solid substance for flammability.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test material is not flammable. No classification is required.
