Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
The flash point of Citronella oil (Cymbopogon Nardus) is 59.3ºC at ambient pressures.Therefore the substance is classified as a flammable liquid Category 3 according to CLP.
JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with section 2 of REACh Annex XI, flammability studies relevant for classification criteria do not apply to liquids. Please refer to flash point under 4.11. The study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid. In accordance with Section 1 of REACH Annex XI testing does not appear scientifically necessary. The flammability of liquids is determined on basis of their flash point in combination with their boiling point. The boiling range of the test substance was determined to be 160 - 247ºC at ambient pressures.The flash point of the test substance was measured according to the guidelines ASTM D3278, ISO 3679 and ISO 3680. Determination was performed in triplicate, and the mean value of 59.3°C was retained. According to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 criteria, the measured flash point lies between the threshold values of 23 and 60°C, therefore the substance is classified as FLAMMABLE LIQUID category 3 (H226).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
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.
