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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Endpoint:
- relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
- Data waiving:
- other justification
- Justification for data waiving:
- other:
- Justification for type of information:
- The high self-ignition values reported for powders of other tungsten compounds support the conclusion that self-heating is not a relevant hazard for this compound (>300 °C for tungsten carbide, as mentioned in OECD SIDS report for Tungsten Carbide, 2005)

Description of key information
Inorganic oxides in which the inorganic element is in its highest possible oxidation state are incapable of further reaction with oxygen, with no potential for ignition.
Tungsten is in its highest possible oxidation state (VI) in this compound and is incapable of further reaction with oxygen. Therefore, the substance is therefore not expected to ignite and self-heating property is not considered relevant for this substance.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
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.
