Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
The study is waived in accordance with REACH Annex XI, Section 1: testing does not appear scientifcally necessary based on existing data and evidence from long-term industrial handling.
If the heat developed either by a reaction of the substance with oxygen or by exothermic decomposition is not lost rapidly enough to the surroundings, self-heating leading to self-ignition occurs. Self-ignition therefore occurs when the rate of heat-production exceeds the rate of heat loss.
Long-term industrial experience of manufacturing and handling the substance has not demonstrated any self-ignition properties.
Furthermore, by way of extrapolation, lead metal powder has been tested according to EU-Method A.10, yielding a result of “not flammable”. It can therefore be assumed that lead metal powder is not ignitable or auto-flammable. In consequence, since (i) lead tetroxide (“minium”) represents the most oxidised form of lead and is thus intrinsically less combustible than lead itself, and (ii) no exothermic decomposition (DSC analysis) was reported up to a temperature of 550 °C, it can safely be assumed not to be ignitable or auto-flammable for lead tetroxide.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
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.
