Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Based on the molecular structure of its constituents, NPEO is not considered to have oxidizing properties.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- no
Additional information
The oxidising properties of NPEO were predicted based on the molecular structure of its individual constituents, in accordance with ECHA guidance Chapter R.7a, Section R.7.1.13.3. NPEO is not considered to have functionality or chemical groups associated with oxidising properties or that could imply oxidising properties.
According to Appendix 6 of the United Nations’ Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria (Fourth Revised ed., 2003) a classification procedure for oxidizing properties need not be applied if:
a) The compound does not contain oxygen, fluorine or chlorine; or
b) The compound contains oxygen, fluorine or chlorine and these elements are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen.
NPEO contains oxygen and this element is chemically bonded to only carbon and hydrogen. The classification procedures for oxidizing properties need not to be applied for NPEO according to the above mentioned UN-recommendations because one of the assessment criteria is met.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the molecular structure of its constituents, NPEO is not considered to have oxidizing properties and therefore does not require classification for this endpoint according to according to CLP (EC 1272/2008) or DSD (67/548/EEC) criteria.
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.
