Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Assessed regarding the chemical nature
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- no
Additional information
- Anon (1987). Ferrous sulphate. Dang Prop Ind Mat Rep 7:55-60
Testing for this endpoint has been waived in accordance with column 2 restrictions.
Ferrous salts
Ferrous sulphate is a reducing agent, which is likely to be a property of all ferrous salts. Exposure to heat and light speeds the oxidation to the ferric form up (Anon 1987). The ferrous kation is deemed unlikely to be further reduced and relevant oxidizing properties can be negated.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The following statement bases on DSD, the Commission Directive 2001/59/EC (28th ATP of Council Directive 67/548/EEC), and CLP (5th ATP of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU:
The submission item is considered non-oxidizing on the basis of its chemical nature and composition. Ferrous (Fe+2) salts are generally reducing rather than oxidizing agents.
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.
