Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Tartaric acid and its salts are not auto flammable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A collection of the self-ignition temperatures was performed for tartaric acid and its salts (i.e. monosodium, monopotassium, sodium potassium, sodium, potassium and calcium tartrate). As result, two values specifically referred to tartaric acid were found . They support the non-auto flammability of the substance. Self-ignition temperature of Calcium tartrate was determined according to EU method A.16. The self ignition temperature of the test item was situated between 338.9 and 340.7 °C (corrected values).
Since the self-ignition temperature of tartaric acid and calcium tartrate is very high and taking into account the chemistry of the other salts, it is believed that the other tartaric acid salts should not behave differently.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.
