Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
not oxidising, A17, Jackson 2003
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- no
Additional information
The burning rates of the test substance/cellulose mixtures reported by Jackson (2003) fall well below the maximum burning rate of 3.3 mm/s for the 60% barium nitrate/cellulose reference mixture. The test substance is not considered to be an oxidising substance according to Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Part A, A.17.
Inspection of the molecular structure indicates that the substance does not contain chlorine or fluorine atoms, and oxygen is only present bonded to carbon atoms.
The available data are considered to be relevant, reliable, and adequate for risk assessment purposes. The data are considered conclusive for Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex VII, 7.13.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The criteria for classification for oxidising solids according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 requires use of test method O.1 of UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, 34.4.1, which uses different reference substances and test material ratios to that of EU test method A.17. However, according to the criteria set out in Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 2, 2.14.4.1, the classification procedure does not apply because the substance is organic, containing no chlorine or fluorine atoms, and oxygen only bonded to carbon. As a result, the substance is not classified as an oxidising solid, and the classification is considered conclusive.
The substance did not meet the criteria for oxidising solids as tested according to Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Part A, A.17, and as a result is not considered to be classified for oxidising properties under Directive 2001/59/EC, Annex VI, 2.2.2. The classification is conclusive.
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.
