Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising solids
- Type of information:
- other: Expert assessment
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- July 6, 2017
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: This assessment is based on a review of the molecular structure (functionality) of calcium titanium trioxide in conjunction with relevant REACH and CLP Regulation
- Qualifier:
- no guideline required
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- A review was undertaken to determine the oxidising potential of calcium titanium trioxide by examining the molecular structure (functionality) of the substance. There are a number of structural features or groups (e.g. halide-oxygen, nitrogen-oxygen) that are commonly associated with oxidising properties. These typically contribute to the combustion of other materials by yielding oxygen. A screening procedure was followed that incorporated aspects of the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and the Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Key result
- Parameter:
- other: An assessment was carried out based on an examination of the functionality within the substance, to identify the presence of elements commonly associated with oxidising behaviour.
- Remarks on result:
- other: Calcium titanium trioxide is not considered to have chemical functionality associated with oxidising behaviour
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- It was determined by expert assessment that calcium titanium trioxide does not contain chemical functionality typically associated with oxidising behaviour. Subsequently, the registered substance does not require classification as an oxidising agent (CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
- Executive summary:
To determine the oxidising potential of calcium titanium trioxide, an assessment was undertaken based on examination of molecular structure and functionality. A screening-style procedure was adopted to assess the oxidising behaviour of the registered substance and titanium dioxide, a potential impurity, that took into consideration Section 7.13 of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. A number of structural features are typically linked with oxidising behaviour, i.e. groups that are capable of contributing to the combustion of other materials, generally by yielding oxygen. Typical oxidising agents contain functional groups such as halide-oxygen groups, nitrogen-oxygen groups and some metal-oxygen complexes.
Calcium titanium trioxide did not contain chlorine or fluorine but oxygen was identified. However, the oxygen present in calcium titanium trioxide was securely bound to titanium atoms. Given that the registered substance is highly insoluble and has a high thermal stability, it is evident that the oxygen atoms will not significantly contribute to oxidising potential. In addition, titanium dioxide is not expected to behave as an oxidising agent because of a strong Ti-O bond.
It can be concluded that calcium titanium trioxide does not have oxidising potential due to a lack of chemical functionality associated with oxidising behaviour. Subsequently, the criteria for classification as an oxidising solid has not been met (CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) and further study is not required (Annex VII of REACH).
Reference
Titanium dioxide (CAS 13463-67-7; EC 236-675-5) may be present as an impurity in calcium titanium trioxide, however, due to similar principles (e.g. strong Ti-O bond) it is also not expected to be an oxidising agent and, therefore, it does not affect the overall oxidising behaviour of calcium titanium trioxide.

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.
