Description of key information
There is no indication of a danger for metal corrosion.
Additional information
Corrosivity to metals:
A justification for not to perform tests is based on the criterion
according to the ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria:
"According to the classification criteria (CLP Annex I, 2.16.2.1) only
substances and mixtures for which the application of the test
“C.1”described in part III, section 37 of the UN-MTC (4th revised
edition) is relevant and needs to be considered. This means that non
soluble solids are excluded, while “liquids and solids that may become
liquids (during transport)”, as mentioned in this reference text, have
to be considered for such a classification."
Melamine is not a liquid and it does not become liquid during transport. Dissolution of melamine is also not intended or foreseen during transport. Solids and solids that may not become liquid during transport are exempted from testing for metal corrosion.
An other justification for not to perform tests is based on the practical experience with storage and shipping of melamine that do not indicate a danger of metal corrosion.

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).
