Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
In the test conditions, no true auto flammability temperature is observed for sodium hypophosphite. The substance decomposes at temperatures above 238°C into phosphine and oxides of phosphorus and the apparent auto flammability temperature of 239°C is the result of the self ignition of phosphine.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One study is reported for this endpoint. The study was performed according to method A16 requirements from regulation (CE) n°440/2008. The temperature profile showed an auto flammability temperature of 239°C. However as the substance starts to decompose at 238°C and the gas phosphine is formed which self ignites when the concentration in air is min. 1%, this observed self ignition temperature is not the true value and is considered the temperature at which the phosphine self ignites.
As the study was performed according to guideline by an accredited laboratory it is considered as reliable with restrictions.
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.
