Description of key information
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, this study is scientifically unnecessary as the main use of this substance is as a flame retardant, and it is well known that the substance exhibits flame retardant properties. It is therefore unrealistic and unnecessary to conduct an experimental study for this endpoint.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Tetrabromobisphenol-A is not known to exhibit pyrophoric properties, nor flammability in contact with water. In addition, a flammability study is not scientifically justified for a flame retardant substance. On this basis, no classification with regards to flammability is required according to Directive 67/548/EEC or Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
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.
