Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the pyrophoricity and flammability in contact with water studies (required in section 7.10) do not need to be conducted as the known constituents of grapefruit oil (d-limonene, citral, alpha-pinene, beta-caryophyllene, citronellal, decanal, nootkatone, octanal, sabinene, myrcine B and linalool) contain no chemical groups associated with the aforementioned properties, are stable in contact with water and experience in handling and use (Chapter R.7.a of the ECHA endpoint specific guidance) has shown that the known constituents of grapefruit oil do not possess the aforementioned properties. As the flash point is the key measure of flammability for liquids (such as grapefruit oil), this endpoint will be considered seperately in chapter 4.11.
