Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Non flammable
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Flammability has been tested on two similar substances that have in common the long chain (> C18) monoester derivative of sodium sulphosuccinate.
In the non-GLP Klimisch 1 study from Bütfering (2013), the flammability of Butanedioic acid, sulfo-, 4-[2-[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethyl] ester, N-C18-unsatd. acyl derivs., disodium salts was determined according to EU method A.10.In the preliminary screening test the test item ignites by the flame. The flame ceased few seconds after removing the gas burner. Therefore, the combustion time is beyond teh specified time frame for flammability of 4 minutes for 200 mm.
In the Nichetti study (2013) the same test has been performed with similar results. As a conclusion it can be deduced that also the registered substance is not flammable
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance is not classified as flammable because it doesn't meet the classification criteria of the CLP regulation n. 1272/2008: "Powdered, granular or pasty substances or mixtures (except powders of metals or metal alloys) shall be classified as readily combustible solids when the time of burning of one or more of the test runs, performed in accordance with the test method described in Part III, sub-section 33.2.1, of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, is less than 45 seconds or the rate of burning is more than 2,2 mm/s".
Since the test item did not propagate combustion, no further testing was required. From the obtained experimental data it can be concluded that the substance is a not highly flammable substance. After the observation of the sample in the two preliminary tests, no further testing was 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.
