Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The test item has no danger of explosion according to the explosive properties in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, A.14. and OPPTS 830.6316.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
In accordance with regulation (EC) No 440/2008, testing for explosive properties does not need to be conducted, when available thermodynamic information and/or absence of certain reactive groups in the structural formula establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the substance is incapable of rapid decomposition with evolution of gases or release of heat (i.e. the material does not present any risk of explosion).
The structural formula does not contain reactive groups associated with explosiveness, the heat of decomposition is below 500 J/g. The test item has no danger of explosion according to the explosive properties in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, A.14. Therefore the testing of explosive properties was not necessary.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The structural formula does not contain reactive groups associated with explosiveness, the heat of decomposition is below 500 J/g.
Based on the structure of the molecule and taking into account the provisions laid down in Council Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP (GHS) , methyl 4 -hydroxybenzoate does not have to be classified with respect to explosiveness.
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.
