Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Executive summary:
An assessment was performed based on an examination of the functionality within the substance. It concluded that Indium Phosphide does not have oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.
Reference
An evaluation of the functionality within the substance has been performed to identify the presence of elements commonly associated with oxidising behaviour. Indium phosphide and the raw materials used to manufacture the substance do not contain oxygen or halogens and therefore the classification procedure does not apply.
Furthermore, section 2.14.2 of the CLP regulation states that special consideration should be given to the particle size of the solid.
‘The oxidising properties of a solid depend on its particle size. Smaller particles enable a more intimate contact between the solid oxidiser and a combustible solid. The smaller the particle size, the higher the oxidising capability of the solid. As a consequence, it may happen that large particles of a certain solid are considered to be non-hazardous, will small particles of the same solid need to be classed into the hazard class of oxidising solids.’
Indium phosphide is supplied as an ingot rather than a powder. Therefore, due to the large particle size of the indium phosphide supplied, it is unlikely to be an oxidising solid.
Description of key information
An assessment was performed based on an examination of the functionality within the substance. It concluded that Indium Phosphide does not have oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- non oxidising

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).
