Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Oxidising properties
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising solids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials

Description of key information
An oxidising substance is one that, while in itself not necessarily combustible, may cause or contribute to the combustion of other material. Oxidising substances generally act by yielding oxygen. Those that release active halogens can also act as oxidants. Silver chloride (AgCl) is an inorganic substance, consisting of Ag+ and Cl- ions in a crystalline matrix. Neither of these ions, nor the compound AgCl as such is able to contribute to combustion by yielding oxygen or by other means. The assessment that AgCl has no oxidising properties in the sense of hazard classification is supported by long-term industrial experience in production, storage and use of this compound, and also based on experience with similar metal chlorides, such as CuCl, which are also not oxidising. In consequence, experimental testing for oxidising properties is scientifically not justified for AgCl (waiving statement in accordance with Annex XI, Section 1 of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006).
Key value for chemical safety assessment

AgCl does not require classification for oxidising properties.
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.
