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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Study period:
- 2010-07-20
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.21 (Oxidising Properties (Liquids))
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Contact with:
- other: fibrous cellulose
- Sample tested:
- test mixture (not specified)
- Parameter:
- mean pressure rise time
- Result:
- 6 084 ms
- Sample tested:
- reference mixture (not specified)
- Parameter:
- mean pressure rise time
- Result:
- 16 955 min
- Endpoint:
- oxidising liquids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidising properties and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Study Results
The test item can not be classified as an oxidizing substance according to the definition in the Directive 2004/73/EEC, method A.21.
Mean pressure rise time of test mixture: 16955 ms
Mean pressure rise time of reference item: 6084 ms
Description of key information
not oxidising
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- non oxidising
Additional information
The substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials, what can be deduced from the chemical structure. There are no chemical groups associated with oxidising properties present in the molecules. Additionally, the test item was tested according to the Directive 2004/73/EEC, method A.21, and the outcome was negative.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on oxidising properties of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: Based on the assessment of the chemical structure and on the result of the EU A.21 test, the substance is not 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).
