Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Based on the internationally recognized UN Recommendation criteria the test substance is considered to be non-oxidizing and therefore is not to be tested experimentally for the classification under division 5.1 as oxidizing substances. Thus it can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that the test substance is not capable of causing fire or enhancing the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
no

Additional information

The oxidizing properties of the test substance are screened based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Orange Book, 3rd edition, 1999) where a set of criteria is compiled to evaluate the need for classification of materials as oxidizing substances. According to the criteria as described in the above mentioned UN document:

• the classification procedure using experimental testing need not be applied for organic compounds if the compound does not contain oxygen, fluorine or chlorine. and

• the classification procedure using experimental testing need not to be applied for organic compounds if the compound contains oxygen, fluorine or chlorine and these elements are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen. The test substance contains oxygen that is bonded to carbon or hydrogen only. Thus, the conditions of the UN recommendations are fulfilled.

Based on the internationally recognized UN Recommendation criteria, the test substance is considered to be non-oxidizing and therefore is not to be tested experimentally for the classification under division 5.1 as oxidizing substances. Thus it can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that the test substance is not capable of causing fire or enhancing the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material.
