Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Sulfur pure test material showed a half life of 4.25 hours when illuminated with 80000 lux at 25°C.
Sulfur technical grade active ingredient showed a half life of 3.21 hours when illuminated with 80000 lux at 25°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A study is available in which the light stability of sulfur was determined (BASF, 1991), but the study gives no information about substance transformation. The determination was performed as described in the testing method CP003: illumination of the solid test substance with white light (xenon lamp with a wave length distribution similar to sunlight, 80000 lux).
Sulfur pure test material showed a half life of 4.25 hours when illuminated with 80000 lux at 25°C. After 1.15 hours 80% of the sulfur remained unchanged. Sulfur technical grade active ingredient showed a half life of 3.21 hours when illuminated with 80000 lux at 25°C. After 0.82 hours 80% of the sulfur remained unchanged.
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.
