Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The substance is considered as non oxidising.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- no
Additional information
The test item FAT 40849/A TE has been evaluated in accordance with the criteria given in the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Further evaluation has been done by detailing the molecule in small subunits for which a classification with regard to oxidizing properties already exists. The subunits are: sodium benzenesulfonate and phenyl vinyl sulfone. Those substances are not classified to be oxidising. Additionally, it can be stated that the oxygen balance of FAT 40849/A TE is negative as calculated based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. In principle this means, that there is a surplus of carbon atoms for a complete reaction according to the following reaction scheme:
CxHyOz + [x + (y/4) – (z/2)] · O2 → x · CO2 + (y/2) · H2O, where CxHyOzis the test item.
Applying the internationally recognised UN Recommendation criteria and further criteria as published in several official documents, FAT 40849/A TE is found to be non oxidising and therefore is not to be tested experimentally for the classification under division 5.1 as oxidising substances. Thus it can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that FAT 40849/A TE is not capable of causing fire or enhancing the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material.
Justification for classification or non-classification
On the basis of criteria for oxidising properties given in the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and further criteria published in other official documents, the substance FAT 40849/A TE is considered as non oxidising. A classification for oxidising properties hence is not required.
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.
