Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No oxidising properties. In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the oxidising properties do not need to be tested, because the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials on the basis of the chemical structure. Iron powder contains iron in the zero valent state and to be oxidising it would require reduction of iron to a negative oxidation state. Such negative oxidation states do not exist for iron.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
no

Additional information

Iron powder contains iron in the zero valent state and to be oxidising it would require reduction of iron to a negative oxidation state. Such negative oxidation states do not exist for iron.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the oxidising properties do not need to be tested, because the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials on the basis of the chemical structure. Iron powder contains iron in the zero valent state and to be oxidising it would require reduction of iron to a negative oxidation state. Such negative oxidation states do not exist for iron.
