Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
oxidising solids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance contains oxygen or halogen atoms which are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
non oxidising

Additional information

Waiver, based on a structural formula containing oxygen bonded only to carbon and hydrogen molecules.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex VII, Column 2, 7.13, a study on the oxidizing properties of the substance does not need to be conducted if the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials on the basis of chemical structure. According to the Technical Report on Development of an Enhanced Hazard Classification System for Oxidizing Chemicals (Ed., Buc, EC and Hoffman, DJ) by the National Fire Protection Foundation (April, 2006, Quincy, MA, U. S. A.), oxidizing chemicals are characterized as having specific oxygen or halide arrangements in their chemical structure, which can undergo oxidation/reduction reactions.

 

Chemicals are excluded from being oxidisers if they do not contain oxygen, or if the oxygen, fluorine or chlorine is bonded only to carbon and hydrogen. As the structure of this substance contains oxygen bonded only to carbon and hydrogen, it is not an oxidiser and the criteria for this adaptation are met.
