Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data
Description of key information
There is no available standardised experimental work assessing the skin and eye irritation/corrosion of carbonyl fluoride.
However, owing to the predicted rapid hydrolysis in contact with water or moisture carbonyl fluoride will lead to the formation of carbon dioxide and hydrogen fluoride (as reported in section "Environmental fate and pathways - hydrolysis" (Arito and Soda, 1977).
In contact with the skin or eyes it is expected to form hydrogen fluoride and corrosive effects similar to those observed with dissolved hydrogen fluoride are anticipated.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Carbonyl fluoride is expected to react with water or moisture of the skin or mucous membranes to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen fluoride. Effects similar to those observed with dissolved hydrogen fluoride are anticipated.
It is therefore considered as a skin corrosive subcategory 1A ; H314 for purpose of classification and labelling.
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.
