Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results

Self-ignition in the Grewer Oven
In the investigation of self-ignition in the Grewer Oven the pure test item showed two endothermic effects in the temperature ranges from 70 °C to 100 °C and from 130 °C to 170 °C, which can be assigned to a separation of crystallisation water (drying) and the melting of the test item. After the experiment was accomplished, the basket of the pure test item was found empty.

As the test item melted in the screening-test in the Grewer Oven before any self-heating effect occured, the Bowes-Cameron-Cage Test has not been required and the test item does not have to be classified as self-heating substance in Class 4 Division 4.2 according to the UN Transport Regulation.

Final Results / Classification
The pure test item Isomalt-GS Typ PF melted at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range from 70 °C to 170 °C, i.e. before any self-heating effect occurred.

According to this result of the tests on the self-ignition in the Grewer Oven the test item is classified as follows:

UN Transport Regulation: The test item is not classified as self-heating substance in class 4, division 4.2 according to the UN Transport Regulation.

GHS / CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.11: The test item is not classified as self-heating substance according to GHS/CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.11, respectively.

Results

Self-ignition in the Grewer Oven
In the investigation of self-ignition in the Grewer Oven the pure test item showed two endothermic effects in the temperature ranges from 70 °C to 100 °C and from 120 °C to 160 °C, which can be assigned to a separation of crystallisation water (drying) and the melting of the test item. After the experiment was accomplished, the basket of the pure test item was found empty.

Final Results / Classification
The pure test item Isomalt-ST Typ PF melted at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range from 70 °C to 160 °C, i.e. before any self-heating effect occurred.

According to this result of the tests on the self-ignition in the Grewer Oven the test item is classified as follows:

UN Transport Regulation: The test item is not classified as self-heating substance in class 4, division 4.2 according to the UN Transport Regulation.

GHS / CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.11: The test item is not classified as self-heating substance according to GHS/CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.11, respectively.

Description of key information

Not self-heating. No self-ignition observed up to the melting point of the substance (VDI 2263, Grewer oven)

Key value for chemical safety assessment
