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 accordance with column 2 of REACH Regulation 1907/2006/EC Annex VII section 7.12 a self-ignition temperature study does not need to be conducted as lithium bis(oxalato)borate is not flammable (see IUCLID section 4.13, key study). Lithium bis(oxalato)borate is a solid that hydrolyses in contact with air moisture and no melting point could be determined up to 400 °C (Substance decomposes at 158 °C). So there is no indication that the substance is self-heating up to 400 °C.
This can be supported by study on self-ignition with lithium bis(oxalato)borate.

Additional information

A study on self-ignition was conducted with lithium bis(oxalato)borate according to EU method A.16 (EC Regulation No 440/2008). At 22 °C and a humidity of 54 % the test sample showed no self-ignition at 400 °C and below. (SRICI, 2010)
