Description of key information
Anhydrous ammonia is a flammable gas
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- flammable
Additional information
Anhydrous ammonia was found to be flammable, with a lower explosion limit of 16% and an upper explosion limit of 25%.
Aqueous ammonia is considered non-flammable.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Anhydrous ammonia is listed on Annex I of Directive 67/548/EEC with classification as (R10) 'Flammable' corresponding to Flam. Gas 2 (H221). This classification is consistent with the data available: no change is proposed.
Aqueous ammonia is considered non-flammable.
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.
